During the course of each day, we see things that surprise us and some things that don’t. The following tweets about what NY Mayor Bill de Blasio said today falls into the latter category:
.@NYCMayor is now quoting – I kid you not – Karl Marx on @BrianLehrer
"The state is the executive committee of the bourgeois," mayor quotes Marx, adding that his leadership's goal is to dismantle that and break ties with the business community.

He paraphrased The Communist Manifesto, saying that the state is just a committee for the bourgeoisie.

The mayor’s press secretary backed up his boss:

It might not surprise you to know that De Blasio’s press secretary is a former spokesperson for Bernie Sanders.

I'm not entirely sure why, but Marx really makes dumb people feel like they're smart. https://t.co/32ECqzx86f

While we're on things that are true – your boss is less popular than coronavirus.

Will your totally-not-bourgeois boss open up one third of Carl Schultz Park he has barricaded off to keep himself at a distance from the peasants? @NYCParks let's get this done pic.twitter.com/1Sne7aBzHD

How's your boss not a part of the bourgeois? Two homes in Park Slope, frequents Colson Patisserie, is driven around town by chauffeurs?
