Capitalism, A Love Story

[A.J.]

I saw Michael Moore's at the cinema a couple of nights ago and suprisingly enjoyed it. Especially this bit.....

Why shouldn't people around here love it? It's the closest thing to a socialist movie produced in the US in years.

I think Michael Moore is one of the few liberals that has a real understanding against Capitalism. His movie was quite entertaining & very informative. Though, I wish he had done more on showing how Capitalism effects every day lives, especially within the Third World countries.

[Pirate Utopian]

It was okay.
It was pro-Obama though.

Yup. That, and how capitalism needs war, the role capitalism/imperialism played in causing US major wars (Korea, vietnam, the 1st gulf war). At the beginning he says "...so what if there's a little bit of this (when he shows jets dropping bombs in vietnam)..." but thats the only mention he makes whatsoever of the US' wars, which have as much to do with capitalism as health care, unemployment and everything else he features in the movie.

Yeah, well, at the time Obama was perceived as the coming working-class savior. So it doesn't surprise me that he brought Obama in the movie through a shed of light.

I never had such an illusion.

I never had such an illusion.

We didn't, but it was to others though, & we've got to keep this in mind.

Michael Moore really ripped into Obama and the Dems and fully withdrew all support in all forms unless they do a 180. He gave an interview a few months ago on DN! It was really shocking. I guess with the Dems finally in power again and furthering the Bush-era policies he can see things as they really are. Hopefully he'll discover Marxism soon.

I saw the two videos about Cleveland before I saw them in Capitalism. So, I got a good kick out of seeming them in the movie. I have been to Cleveland a few times and one of my parents is from Cleveland and I can say that those videos are true and very funny.

[RED DAVE]

Moore's first movie Roger and Me, is a heart-breaking, funny movie about how the closing of the GM factories in Flint, Michigan, Moore's home town, destroyed the city.

I had a hard time finding it, but then again I tried that when it was still in theaters so there may be more seeds now.

I also wish that he would have a postive view on communism. Ever time he is asked, what he thinks of communism, he tells us, we should be able to find a better system. Thougth communism is workers in control(thougth voting) of the factors of production.

[InuyashaKnight]

Its a Great movie you gotta watch it Comrade.

[Comrade_Stalin]

Yes it is a very good movie. It shows that captialism is so bad, that airline pilots are only payed 20,000. Less then a manager at a fast food place.

[Dermezel]

It's extremely depressing that this is the best anti-capitalist documentary to have come out in a while. On Howard Stern Moore refused to explicitly deny he was against capitalism, though he pretty much implied so.

[Dermezel]

Likewise I would like to add that one thing I have found favorable about Michael Moore is that he is very pro-technology AND pro-proletariat (worker/union) (more showed this by advocating a Unionized Robotics plant) . It is rare to see that progressive combination now at days.

Most pro-worker movements have degenerated into Luddite protectionism. Technocratic circles have come under bourgeoisie influence. The fact that it should be the opposite seems almost wholly lost by the left.

thought this was quite entertaining confrontation....

I did enjoy the film and he did speak about socialism which is rare for a mainstream film to do in a positive light. For that it deserves praise.

Bullworth (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000886/): Yo, everybody gonna get sick someday / But nobody knows how they gonna pay / Health care, managed care, HMOs / Ain't gonna work, no sir, not those / 'Cause the thing that's the same in every one of these / Is these motherfuckers there, the insurance companies!

Cheryl and Tanya: Insurance! Insurance!

Bullworth (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000886/): Yeah, yeah / You can call it single-payer or Canadian way / Only socialized medicine will ever save the day! Come on now, lemme hear that dirty word - SOCIALISM!RED DAVE

^ Too bad he gets assassinated by the usual gang of aristocratic old white men at the end :(

I liked the film, largely because it was entertaining though and the dude interviewing him in that video is fucking annoying :blink:
