So the new mayor quoted Eugene Debs early in that Muslim's speech last night.

And Eugene Debs said at one time, "From the crown of my head to the soles of my feet I am Bolshevik, and I am proud of it"

Enough said. Don't really care about NYC, other than bailouts. I'm old enough to know about those 70s bailouts. No thanks, NYC.

The financial market no longer needs NY - technology, and all that sort of stuff.

Heard him speak of Debs. Kind of surprised me but then I remembered Anita Dunn praising Mao so guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Yes. Much of this is brought about by the education system. The near complete whitewash of communism, and especially Maoism, by it compared to fascism. In fact, hot take is that guy rates even more reviling than the media and academia's favorite villain.

These women don't seem too worried (if real).

Imagine if a person went to China and espoused the virtues of Adam Smith. They would probably get disappeared like Tank Man in Tiananmen Square. In America, no one asks questions about quoting communists, and we might even elect them mayor

It is peculiar how there never seems to be follow-up to asking what went on that day, and especially that hero.
