Brad Lander, the Democratic representative-elect for New York’s 10th Congressional District, has tapped Jesse Myerson, a self-described communist with a history of anti-Zionist statements, to serve as his communications director as he prepares to take office in January. Myerson’s views on national borders and Israel date back more than a decade. In a 2013 article for the socialist publication Jacobin, he argued that the political left should seek to eliminate national borders by uniting workers across the world. In articles for Salon in 2014 and 2015, he referred to himself as “this communist” and a “publicly self-identified communist.”
