Comrade-Mayor Bill de Blasio directly quoted communism-creator Karl Marx during a radio interview Friday; saying “I’m tempted to borrow from Karl Marx here.”
The Mayor was asked to comment on the business situation in the Big Apple during the Coronavirus pandemic.
“I am tempted to borrow from Karl Marx here,” said de Blasio. “There’s a famous quote that the ‘the state is the executive committee of the bourgeois’ and I use it openly to say, ‘No.’”

“I actually read that as a young person and I said, ‘That’s not the way it’s supposed to be.’”
“The business community matters, we need to work with the business community, we will work with the business community — but the city government represents the people, represents working people, and mayors should not be too cozy with the business community, governors should not be too cozy with the business community,” he added.
De Blasio found himself in hot-water from voters in Florida after directly quoting Fidel Castro and Che Guevara near Miami.

“I don’t mean to make light of this. But I’m reminded of the song ‘Imagine’ by John Lennon. We played it at my inauguration! What about a world where people got along differently?

DE BLASIO SPIRALS: Embattled Mayor Says Spike in CoVID Hospitalizations Has Nothing to do With Protests
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio told reporters he would be “surprised” if a recent spike in CoVID-19 hospitalizations was related to the ongoing George Floyd protests taking place in all five boroughs.
“I would be surprised if that’s what’s causing it,” de Blasio said Friday. “I think we’re much more likely in the next week [or] 10 days to see a manifestation, if there is one.”
“It is dangerous to be close together,” he admitted. “I don’t like that.”
