Mikey is out with his latest putrid opus.
This one, though, is far more revealing of his core beliefs than any of his prior indulgences.
His shtick is old but I always thought he lacked honesty, never a positive trait for a propagandist.
Seeing 'Capitalism', I think he has found some for the first time. In his previous work, he exploited
the plight of others as a means of waging his little clandestine wars against some target that he always
shrouded with throwaway lines about patriotism. He clearly disliked something fundamental about how this
nation is structured. I always thought we were for him too American, too individualist, and never enough
like something else.
Well, to cite the Village Voice (lol, of all sources) he finally reveals enough so we can understand
without doubt what is that something else:
Village Voice From the review:
Capitalism is the most purely Marxist film Moore has ever made. Its purpose is not just to go after corporations
