The New York Times reports on Comrade Bill De Blasio:
Mr. de Blasio became an ardent supporter of the Nicaraguan revolutionaries. He helped raise funds for the Sandinistas in New York and subscribed to the party’s newspaper, Barricada, or Barricade. When he was asked at a meeting in 1990 about his goals for society, he said he was an advocate of “democratic socialism.”
Is it still the goal?
The New York Daily News reports:
Mayor de Blasio likes a lot of things about presidential contender Bernie Sanders — especially his “democratic socialist” designation.
"Bernie Sanders has done an extraordinary job talking about where we need to go in the country,” the mayor gushed in an interview on CNN on Friday.
When the network’s anchor Carol Costello asked de Blasio if he is s a “socialist” like Sanders — a Democratic senator from Vermont — De Blasio quickly corrected her to say that Sanders is a “Democratic socialist.”
He said he liked the sound of that.
“I think there's a lot to like in that title,” he said adding, “He [Sanders] has offered a critique of what's wrong that is very powerful. He has offered a set of ideas about the changes we need to make. And it's helping to drive the national discussion.”
The enemies of the system of free enterprise in clarity.
