De Blasio - Bringing Socialism to New York


A RED campaign sign - Truth in advertising.

“People were shocked and speechless”
  • New York City Commie Mayor-elect tells businessmen he not a free-marketeer.  That he believes in the heavy hand of government.
  • Will New York's new Democrat mayor follow the policies of Lenin, Stalin or Castro?  Inquiring minds want to know.


The People's Republic of New York - Welcome to the new Democrat Party's "big tent" where everyone from Marx to Lenin is represented.  Suddenly Mayors Michael Bloomberg and Rudy Giuliani look like drooling right-wing loons.


(New York Post)  Business leaders in the city are scratching their heads over recent remarks by Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio.

Describing how he plans to govern once he takes office next year, the mayor-elect declared flatly that he doesn’t believe in the free-market system.

At least Comrade Bill was being honest.

“Everything you heard about me is true. . . I am not a free-marketeer. . . I believe in the heavy hand of government,” de Blasio stated matter-of-factly during an hour-long presentation to some of the city’s biggest real-estate developers reports Charles Gasparino in the New York Post.


The meeting occurred several weeks before the election with de Blasio way ahead in the polls and New York’s business elite hoping and praying he wasn’t as much of a leftist as he said he was on the campaign trail.

Now that de Blasio’s been elected mayor with a resounding 73 percent of the vote, his comments have become a hot topic for business people trying to digest what life will be like with Comrade Bill in charge.

Attendees of the gathering with de Blasio included Jared Kushner of Kushner Properties, Stephen Green of SL Green Realty, Douglas Durst of the Durst Organization and Jeff Blau, chief executive of the Related Companies. Scott Rechler of RXR Realty, who hosted the event at his offices, served as moderator (that is, to the extent it’s possible to moderate de Blasio).

“It was startling to hear someone in this day and age boldly proclaim he’s not a ‘free marketeer,’ ” said one person in ­attendance.

“Scary” was how another person with direct knowledge of the event described his statements. “People were shocked and speechless,” said another person who was there.

This is a guy who honeymooned in Cuba, gave aid and comfort to the communist Sandinista rebels and never apologized for his radical past. In fact, he’s built upon it, advocating a distinctly far-left agenda — further left, in fact, than any mayor since David Dinkins. That includes everything from bashing the police to demanding higher taxes and much bigger government, which he believes will alleviate a fictional narrative: that one of the most generous cities in the world to poor people is really a Dickensian hell hole.
