That was then, and this is now as NYC Mayor de Blasio suggested Gov. Cuomo is living in the past.

“We are never going back to the 1970s,” Hizzoner said on Thursday. “I think there are some people who lived through that time who were deeply affected by it, but it’s just not part of our lives anymore.

“We have left that behind, we’re an entirely different city, we’re never going back,” he added.

Time will tell.

This is the classic clash between a corporate Leftist (Cuomo), vs. an ideological Communist Leftist (Warren Wilhelm).
Cuomo wants power and to crush Trump, the goal of the corporate Left, usurp power but maintain order.
Wilhelm wants anarchy and chaos regardless of the outcome.
He just wants to destroy and burn it all down, like he did with the Communist Sandinista National Liberation Front.

Cuomo and the press still thinks we are dealing with drugged out, high on life, 60s hippies. NO!
These people are hardcore experienced Communist insurgents. They are NOT hippies. These are terrorists.
Cuomo cannot seem to grasp the fundamental change in 'The Revolution'.
These insurgents like Wilhelm do not give one single damn about Democrats, Republicans, or America in general.
They have their own agenda outside of BLM or the Democrat Party.

“We are never going back to the 1970s,” Hizzoner said on Thursday. “I think there are some people who lived through that time who were deeply affected by it, but it’s just not part of our lives anymore.

Then why does today seem so similar to then?

Liberals are very progressive. They just don't tell you that the progression is not in the forward direction.

De Blasio quotes Karl Marx in WNYC radio interview

First it was Che Guevara — now it’s Karl Marx!

Mayor Bill de Blasio reached back to his salad days as a young radical to quote the father of communism on Friday.

During his weekly appearance on WNYC radio, de Blasio was asked about a recent report that said his “long-held antipathy toward well-heeled private sector interests” was jeopardizing the city’s economic recovery from the coronavirus crisis.

In response, de Blasio admitted that “my focus has not been on the business community and the elites” before adding, “I am tempted to borrow from Karl Marx here.”

Hizzoner then went to recite from memory a concept expressed in Chapter 1 of the infamous “Communist Manifesto” written by Marx and comrade Friedrich Engels in 1848.

“There’s a famous quote that the ‘the state is the executive committee of the bourgeois’ and I use it openly to say, ‘No,'” de Blasio said.   ...

Right. We've been doing 60s redux for four years, that 70s stuff is coming.
