De Blasio Quotes Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto in Discussion on Relationship with NYC Business Community

66

No pretense anymore. None. The Mayor of the capital of capitalism is imposing governance based on the most brutal, anti-human ideology in human history.

The Communists’ chief purpose is to destroy every form of independence—independent work, independent action, independent property, independent thought, an independent mind, or an independent man. Conformity, alikeness, servility, submission and obedience are necessary to establish a Communist slave-state. Ayn Rand

[…]

It is the Communists’ intention to make people think that personal success is somehow achieved at the expense of others and that every successful man has hurt somebody by becoming successful. It is the Communists’ aim to discourage all personal effort and to drive men into a hopeless, dispirited, gray herd of robots who have lost all personal ambition, who are easy to rule, willing to obey and willing to exist in selfless servitude to the State. Ayn Rand

De Blasio Quotes Marx’s Communist Manifesto in Discussion on Relationship with NYC Business Community

By: Zachary Evans,National Review, July 24, 2020

New York mayor Bill de Blasio quoted Karl Marx when outlining the relationship he wanted his office to have with the city’s business community, in an appearance on The Brian Lehrer Show on WNYC.

Host Brian Lehrer asked de Blasio how the mayor was approaching businesses for help with recovery from the coronavirus pandemic. Lehrer said that the mayor was not known for extensive outreach to the business community given his focus on issues of wealth inequality.

“There’s an underlying truth in the fact that my focus has not been on the business community and the elite,” de Blasio said. “I am tempted to borrow a quote from Karl Marx here…”

“They’ll love that on Wall Street,” Lehrer interjects.

“Yes they will,” de Blasio laughs. “There’s a famous quote that ‘the state is the executive committee of the bourgeoisie,’ and I use that openly to say no, I read that as a young person and thought, well, that’s not the way it’s supposed to be.”

The quote comes from the first chapter of Marx’s Communist Manifesto, in which Marx outlines his theory of the progressive advancement of the class of the bourgeoisie at the expense of the proletariat.

The mayor continued in the interview, “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….A lot of folks have just sort of hit a wall when I say guys, you’re gonna have to pay more taxes, and we’re gonna have policies that favor working people more.”

De Blasio ended by saying he knows that many businesses want to help with a “comeback” for the city, and that his administration “really appreciate[s] that.”

The interview was not the first time de Blasio has quoted a communist figure. In 2019, the mayor apologized after quoting communist revolutionary Che Guevara at a rally of striking airport workers in Miami.

“I did not know the phrase I used in Miami today was associated with Che Guevara & I did not mean to offend anyone who heard it that way. I certainly apologize for not understanding that history,” de Blasio wrote on Twitter after backlash from Miami’s Latino community, many of whom are Cuban exiles.

When I grew up in a largely Jewish city in the 50s no one would have put up with this b.s. Now there are leftard rabbis everywhere silencing their fellow religious leaders who stand up for Jews and for America. They are worse than “useful idiots”, they are traitors on many levels. Stand against them.

NY voters elected him . On election day 28% of them mostly demonrats voted , rest partied . And they got De blasio.

Voting for wrong candidate is just as bad as not voting for better one in election.

I accuse Pam Geller of being cowardly and enabling the Islam-Left. J ews are being assaulted daily in NY and it’s her fault for not standing up. this is all due to Obama. Why doesn’t Pam say the truth that Obama’s own cousin is an Antisemite, black so-called rabbi and he has a so-called black Synagogue in Chicago. So why isn’t Pam doing something about it?

Obama’s cousin is Capers C. Funnye and he’s one of those Antisemite “Black Hebrew Israelites”. They’re the ones that incited Nick Sandmann’s group before the Indian man came and got in Sandmann’s face.

This Antisemite incitement comes from Obama. Geller knows Obama’s the Antichrist and withholding that information as Pam Geller is doing, is enabling and empowering the Devil aka Antichrist Obama.

It’s all Pam Geller’s fault. Why hasn’t she pulled the plug on the Devil yet?

Why is she protecting the black Antisemite hatred-mongers that harass people on Times Square, the Black Hebrew Israelites?

Do you support Black Hebrew Israelites who are rabid Antisemites. Do you support that? You’re really upset that I call out Obama’s cousin. He’s a Black Hebrew Israelite. What’s wrong with you? Do you support Antisemitism like them? There’s something VERY suspicious about you. Right? I got you figured out right. You’re an Obama plant here. Am I right about that, my friend?

I’m calling out blacks that have been preying on Jews like the Black Hebrew Israelites.
We should stand up and put our foot down against hatred.
Capers C. Funnye is a racist Black Hebrew Israelite.
They’re the haters that harass people on the sidewalk at Time Square (NY) and Funnye’s Wiki page has this category indication: it says Capers Funnye’s one of the “Black Hebrew Israelite religious leaders”, so there’s no waiting and we must stand up against hate as the Bible says.

Well why isn’t she calling out Obama’s family that are fake Jewish Black Hebrew Israelite (Antisemites).
I’m looking at the revisions on Obamas cousin Capers C. Funnye’s Wikipedia page. They’re covering up his link to the Black Hebrew Israelite group in those page-revisions.
It’s a smoking gun. What are you all waiting for to call out Obama’s link to hate-mongering Antisemitic blacks? Waiting for cities to go up in smoke?

For example in the page’s history, Revision as of 23:29, 30 April 2017 shows they deleted the words Black, Hebrew, Israelite entirely from the “Capers Funnye” page.

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Capers_Funnye&diff=next&oldid=778069258

But Funnye was first Christian then was Muslim and then Jewish (of the most Antisemitic and racist towards Jews cult: the Black Hebrew Israelites.)

Why aren’t any of you standing up to go after those criminals. It’s all Obama’s fault and no one’s even talking about Obama’s past. What’s wrong with you? Why’s Pam silent about Obama’s fake Jewish link?

I’m saying Pam Geller’s not saying anything about Obama’s Jewish Antisemite cousin Capers C Funnye.
When she does that then we can talk. Until then, nobody’s standing up against the hate-mongering by the Black Hebrew Israelites and which is inciting the BLM lies and mayhem.
There cannot be any solution until the Dems are confronted about the hating they’re spreading.

Wouldn’t it be something to see this guy get de-elected. I was able to visit New York City one time for a couple days back around 1974. Tremendous energy, talent, diversity. Great street food. Vibrant humans interacting in all manner of ways. It was the bare knuckle give and take of a representative constitutional republic using capitalism. Then I went to the UN and it was the saddest experience of the trip, closed and oppressive on its face: one speaker refused to leave his room to come to the forum floor until the previous speaker had left the building. The contrast between what I saw on the street and inside that UN building was like night and day. What existed in that UN building has now infested the city. It would indeed be something to see this guy get de-elected.

You have exactly to the count of 3 or the next in line will be put in your place. New elections for city government will take place within one month. Anyone stepping out of line or “rioting for whatever reason straight the to jail. No free release. Bail will be enforces. Now WHY will this not happen?
