New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio quoted Karl Marx, author of the "Communist Manifesto," on Friday, prompting some pushback on social media.
Noting that he wasn't focused on elite interests, De Blasio told WNYC radio: “I am tempted to borrow from Karl Marx here.†According to the New York Post, he added: “There’s a famous quote that ‘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,'" he said.
