Comrade de Blasio [not his real name] wants more government control

Comrade Bill de Blasio, whose real name is Warren Wilhelm Jr., cited his "socialistic impulse" [read 'commie'] in describing his utopia where New York City government has control over all the land and all the buildings in his city, and he is the lord and absolute master of all that comes and goes.

"I think people all over this city, of every background, would like to have the city government be able to determine which building goes where, how high it will be, who gets to live in it, what the rent will be," the Communist mayor said in an interview with New York Magazine. "I think there's a socialistic impulse, which I hear every day, in every kind of community that they would like things to be planned in accordance with their needs."

By their, de Blasio, a full-blown Marxist, means the collective.

In accordance with whose needs? People with no skin in the game. People who want to share the wealth of the high earners, as if somehow that is moral.

People with lots of money and power in government love socialism and communism. It doesn't affect them like it does to the middle class person who ends up paying more in taxes than he or she takes home.

And what he's asking for is more and more regulations. With Trump reducing regs, you can see how the economy is humming along. More regulations, and I mean unnecessary ones, hurts businesses, big and small.

The leftist went on to say, "Look, if I had my druthers, the city government would determine every single plot of land, how development would proceed."

Because the government is so great at doing things, right Billy?

But he added, "And there would be very stringent requirement around income levels and rents."

When are the people on the left going to come to their senses and see how we have come so far in our free market society? World poverty has been incredibly reduced since the 1980s and that can be blamed on the free market.

Leftists like de Blasio and Ocasio-Cortez are quite happy spending other people's money, but eventually, as in Venezuela, they will run out of it.

They aren't very good at basic economics, in spite of Ocasio-Cortez having majored in it at school and de Blasio in urban studies and International Affairs.
