Michael Moore's 'Capitalism: A Love Story' DVD Extra Preview - Worker-Owned Businesses

[Mspendragon72]

@MrSuperpunch019 ..and the enslavement of another race of people...funny how you left that out.

[oJKBo]

lol clearly moore found experts on capitalism

[MrNobody425]

"You're an idiot!" "No, you're an asshole!" "No, you're a..." Youtube comments, bringing you intelligent debate all year round. Actually, this IS just like how most governments do it...

[yankee82090]

BLAH BLAH BLAH people have become so GREEDY

[Mike10four]

Capital: is the means of production. Human Capital: is the ability to perform labor to produce economic value. So, everyone making money from Mr. Moore to CEOs are capitalist. All countries produce something, so they too are capitalist; the difference is the ownership and control of the Capital via their government dictates. Moore does not realize his issue is with virtue when a culture loses its morality; as demonstrated by the US not following its Constitution is the source of his nemesis.

[ssahagun1]

Capitalism-

an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state

Doesn't say anything about one dollar one vote. actually I prefer the idea of PEOPLE getting money as opposed to the state

[oJKBo]

@ssahagun1 capitalism could be further simplified as free trade

[number41fool]

i hate target and wal mart

[carlmelanson1]

Worker-owned business? What about the guy who busted his ass proping up the business in the first place? He no longer owns what he himself created? This is communist insanity. You think a new hiree should have as much say over what happens to a major company as someone who's been there since the beginning? This is tupsy-turvy thinking at its worst. Why not take a pefectly good company and run it into the ground? An this is for the benefit of WHO? The workers who lost their jobs as a result?

[kenfla2]

Capitalism works. The Western world is prove of that. China learned it and their economy is growing, big time. The Moore guy is getting your money spreading that lie. And that is Capitalism. So the fat fuck is making money off of something he is bitching about. I can't believe you people are buying his shit. You know the problem with his way of thinking is that one day you run out of other peoples money. If your brain is bigger then a pea, think about that

[Malaka57]

@kenfla2 .... You are definitely an idiot. China has a planned economy. It is a full-fledged communist system driven by an artificially-created need for cheap labor. It is totally unsustainable politically, socially and hence, ultimately, economically. You are such a clod, you obviously can't figure that out. I would suggest that you stop exhibiting such aggressive ignorance, get off the Web and read a few books for a change. You are blocked, so don't bother answering. No time for idiots.

[kenfla2]

@Malaka57 What ever asshole. Go ahead and keep your noise int the books and stay away from the voting polls. BTW, i connected the dots, you over educated bitch. and its not pretty. We need to go back to the days of Reagan, he knew how to run things.

Who the fuck are you anyway telling me what to do? Last i checked it was still a free country, JACKASS

[oJKBo]

@Malaka57 it's economy is driven by foreign investment and trade--for profit. real communist

[Malaka57]

@kenfla2 Capitalism only works in the glue-addled mind of people like you- Don't bother answering, I wouldn't want to be responsible for you having a stroke. Mr shit-for-brains.

[kenfla2]

@Malaka57 What world do you live in? You probably don't even knwo the meaning of the work Capitalism! Tell you what, smart ass, tell me a system that works better. Mind you that the US became a super power because of this so called Capitalism so think about your answer carefully Mr I'm so stoned

[TheHelo10]

@kenfla2 usa became a superpower by committing serious discriminations against other nations in the nameof capitalism, by attacking countries because of their communism or dictatorships, so usa could appoint leaders to these nations that were in favour of usa, and then 10, 20 or 30 years later again invade these countries to owerthrow the leadership they palced there in the first place, sacrificin countless american lives again by doing so! i would not be proud about that

[kenfla2]

@TheHelo10 Really, well i guess you told me! But tell me this

1. Name one country that hasn't or doesn't have an agreeable history

2. Name one country that hasn't benefited from the US in aid or what have you.

3. Tell me how it hasn't benifitted you?

If fact who the hell are you to judge living off unproud history of the united states. You must be real ashamed of yourself don't you? Sorry bastard

[pussycatdoll020]

no one ever shop at walmart ever agai!! lol

[Shebadad]

This dipshit has never had an economics class. What a freaking dipshit

[Malaka57]

Well, they have the money to buy the votes by creating astroturf movements like the Tea Party or by inveigling dumbfucks like Joe the Plumber...

[kenfla2]

@Malaka57 lol,,,your stupid. Obama already fucked up this country so where did the tea parth or joe the plumber wrong. You know we are right, dumbass

[Malaka57]

@kenfla2 Haha! .... Coming from a tea bagger, that is an honor Kenfla. It's like being called a socialist by one of those brainless Nazis one still finds in dark and damp caves. Your info-less comment suggests that you couldn't connect two dots on an A4 page without assistance. And your spelling suggests a low and Neanderthal-like brow. Stop sniffing glue, you dimwith.

[t00thman]

I saw a bunch of disreputable bank names. I think capitalism sucks now.

[gopconservative78]

@MrSuperpunch019 But the conquered Mexico territory was wiped clean of worthless mexicans.....greed is good

[kane00754]

@gopconservative78 no offense but your a idiot

[gopconservative78]

@kane00754 typical response to a loser Union scumbag

[skippers96]

i don't envy the us..i really don't, im not sure what they feed some people there...but i have not seen or heard people of other countries say anything closely related to envy towards them, i pity the us in alot of ways.

cola is right, that should be the last thought on the US mind right now

[japanesesweet]

A fantastic film but I hope Moore makes a documentary next time - -ie. more angles to the argument and complexity....this was more of a polemic. Still....a great talent and sense of how to pace a two hour film which could easily have been a crushing bore but wasn't.

[DarkLordCallMeDickC]

He showed the angle of that douchebag who works for the Wall Street Journal. They all think like that. Once you hear one of these devils you have heard them all. It's follow the leader on the right.

[yesilike101]

Pres. Obama, where is clunker for college tuition? Another empty speech?

[Bowyerma]

Selling a fraudalent product such as that is called a white collar crime, we don't even enforce laws against the most obvious cases of it right now. Its a shame your school and the economy collectively sucker punched you.

[externalpower]

Mooore... the only true AMERICAN. the rest of you are slaves. sheep. losers.

[missionaryoffaith]

@externalpower

no not me i am very awake not a sheeple i am a free human being

[cubbs357]

@externalpower I watched this movie with my dad we were blown away on how our own Government Robbed us and the people of this country.

[quitearow]

I am 100% convinced that the establishment is trying to kill us. It took me a while to come to that very depressing realization.

[nocturnezero]

Ha. They're not even hiding it. They are trying to fuck you out in the open. They are taking out their dicks on national TV and saying, "We are going to fuck you with this dick." And we are consenting because of the material goods they provide us with and the false happiness and hope they propagandize.

[Bowyerma]

They would never do that. They have to profit from it first, then kill us, get it right. lol

[yesilike101]

Socialized health care my ass, how about assembly line medical care, now serving #213477444. Oop sorry Im on a break. Next window please. Some people dont associates negativity with socialism, but assembly line will get their attention

Help, the pro healthcare websites stop posting my comment. If you like my message, please help circulates. Just copy and paste.

[andruh99]

Come up with proper grammar, word use and a clear point and I'll think about supporting your position.

Till then, you don't deserve it.

[skippers96]

i don't get it, people with socialized health care dont' complain...but there are so many in the us that do complain...and are kicked out of hospitals on their deathbeds because of it...i mean the people should decide but...open your mind a little, and ask the opinion of someone with experience instead of just a rough guess..you may like how it is now but..people like yourself could end up with cancer and not get help because of something like a broken leg..where does all the money you paid go?

[DarkLordCallMeDickC]

@skippers96

That is just it, if it doesn't happen to them (the political right in this country) it doesn't exist.

[yesilike101]

Remember, we are paying for the new Gov staffs for life, for life!!!! not once a year but monthly

[luvsufc]

Well then fucking inlighten us of what capitalism is,deatho.

[deathoprivacy]

capitalism is not as he the good doctor describes "ah tall".

[nocturnezero]

Yes, it is. The Wealth of Nations, written by a smart man who's anti-neoliberal ideas are often smothered by advocates of his more blatantly Capitalist ideas, is based around the idea that humans don't care about their community, that hard work somehow equates to making more money, and that power is vital to any given group.

[MrEmesis]

I just started to watch this movie and even after just 30 minutes or so, I've seen many lies in this film.

I really enjoyed the part about the car companies. He claimed that we destroyed the Jap and German car companies with WWII. While german car companies continued to survive after the war, Lie#1 the Jap car industry was practically non existent. Lie#2. Then he went on to say that the Jap cars rarely break down and I couldn't stop laughing. If only he made this propaganda film 6 months later.

[newb2yutube]

You are full of shit MrEmesis. You're only lying to yourself. Is that the only "Lie" you can find? And it isn't even a lie. That's pretty sad. Do you always lie in order to prove to yourself and your ideology? The Japanese car industry began in the 50's where they produced fuel efficient AND cheap cars that were by all means better than american. Why? because american cars were built for power....not for safety or fuel efficiency. Get your shit straight liar.

[MrEmesis]

Bullshit newb2. The Jap cars of the 1950s were little shit boxes. These little 39hp go-karts were only fuel efficient because you had to be a little 98lbs Jap girly man to even get inside of one. You could barely even call them cars. And as far as safety is concerned, please. Don't even try to tell me that these little shoe boxes were all that safe. A friends B210's alternator failed in 1980. We had to travel to 200 miles to get one or wait weeks for the mechanic to have one shipped.

[newb2yutube]

Lmao That was funny. Still, one event doesn't prove squat. Their design and efficiency made them important after the oil crisis. So better cars? obviously yes.

[MrEmesis]

newb2:Better perhaps in the late 70's and 80's. And only in low end models. But not before then and certainly not now Prius boy. The Jap car makers traveled to the US to learn how to make cars from us after we rebuilt their nation after WW2. The best thing that ever happened to Japan was losing the war to us. War reparations made them the world competitor that they are today instead of the junk makers they once were.

Continued....

[MrEmesis]

cont....

Lets not forget it was liberal democrat Jimmy Carter (America's worst president) that lit the fuse for the oil crisis. Dumb fuck.

[skippers96]

downgrading a people poorly to make a point already shows what kind of person your are...not a really good comeback i must say...newb seems to make factual points and you go from..personal and biast experience?

[MrEmesis]

skipper: You wouldn't be biased (not biast) would you? Considering that your a communist, I don't take much stock in your opinion. Supporting a government model of control and repression of it's citizens shows what kind of person you are.

On a side note, che guevara was an enemy of freedom. I'm glad he's dead. Micheal Moore is also and enemy of freedom.

[skippers96]

I am not a communist I am a socialist I belive in basic rights but I am agenst private business.And if you belive that freedom is a life whair people live thair intire lives at work for a fat cat who's job is to make max profit and 1 way to make max profit is to cut buget and one of those bugets is your paycheck so your system is based on working for as little money as possible.I do not belive in that and that is called "capitalism" So if that is freedom well I guess I do not belive in freedom.

[MrEmesis]

skippy:I also noticed that you called me out for downgrading another but failed to mention that I was referred to as "full of shit" and a "liar". What a hypocrite piece of shit you are as well.

You're fairly naive on how the world works. If you have your way, you will be repressed just like they were in the USSR. You want to stand in line for your loaf of bread, go ahead. I can take care of myself and if you're in my way, be ready to be trampled on.

[DarkLordCallMeDickC]

And just because we don't like capitalism in its current form doesn't mean we have to be socialist or communist. What we need is a system that works for every (just like Plato wrote about in The Republic). There are more than three choices on how to run an economy. Let's stop bickering, obviously Capitailism is not working, and use our heads and create a new system

[MrEmesis]

skippy,

Perhaps your just to weak for the American lifestyle. You should find a nice little country where all of your needs are taken care of. Leave the living and progress to us and I'll leave the following and worship of false idols to you.

[DarkLordCallMeDickC]

Ad hominem = you lose.

[DarkLordCallMeDickC]

@MrEmesis

"Supporting a government model of control and repression..." but yet it is fine in your mind to support a bunch of mini-tyrants (private businesses) model of control and repression of it's workers (since it has no citizens it only indirectly affects citizens of its host country) shows you are lost in the political right mind labyrinth the elite have created.

P.S. Che Guevara was an enemy of oppression. The political right in this country are the real enemies of freedom.

[NocheezRecords]

@DarkLordCallMeDickC

True, but let's include the democrats in that group of who is bad for this country. Both parties are just factions of the business party.

[DarkLordCallMeDickC]

@NocheezRecords

Agreed.

[skippers96]

Well your calling me week and giving me threats well your the one arguing to a 13 year old about haw to world works I suggest you grow a pair and get a life.

[MrEmesis]

skippy: If you're telling the truth then it's my mistake. If I new that you were a child I'd never have responded to your naive comment. I understand now why you sound the way you do. I rarely if ever dialog with children on YouTube. Your profile claims that you're 19. Did you lie to get access to restricted areas of the web site? Do your parent know what your doing? Aren't their any cartoons on TV right now?

[skippers96]

I bet you never knew,understood or even cared about political systems when you wher my age let alone know them very well and the fact your still on the internet is kinda weird shoulden't you be working to make money to feed your capitalist place you call a country.

до свидания дурак

[MrEmesis]

skippy - I'm a rich capitalist. I don't have to work. My money works for me so I can stay at home do what ever I want. Too bad for you though. All commies must work for the state no matter what. Why aren't you in school? You need to go to school as you don't know anything regarding political and economic systems. You're probably just repeating what your commie parents have told you.

до свидания дурак-Hypocrite. Good bye to you too, idiot.

Oh, and by the way. I've blocked you.

[NocheezRecords]

@MrEmesis

Wow, maybe you're a rich capitalist or maybe some bullshitter living in his parents basement. Either way there is no doubt you are a piece of shit when it comes to being human.

[MrEmesis]

@NocheezRecords - Fuck you Ronnie. Bigoted liberal scum.

[NocheezRecords]

@MrEmesis

I figured you come back with a moronic statement like that. You have made it obvious of how low your intellect and moral standing are...

[MrEmesis]

@NocheezRecords - It's all your worth.

[NocheezRecords]

@MrEmesis

No, it's all you can think of, lol...

How do you know I am liberal? Is your definition of liberal one who is against corporate crime, and are you for corporate crime?

[MishuTaste]

Consider this: if it wasn't for free market capitalism, America wouldn't be seen as a great nation by other nations. No one around the world would envy us. Look around you. Look at all the products you've bought. You can see the physical evidence of free market capitalism. Corporate greed shouldn't overshadow the better aspects of free market capitalism.

[RealMcForesT]

I think you need to read up on the financial crisis. You are forgetting that those products you are talking about, was part of the reason the crisis came about. Americans blew their money on consumption, now the bill is here, and Americans can't pay it back.

Also, you may wish to re-check that 'envy', because as far as I know, most countries in Europe are laughing at North America.

[MishuTaste]

It's true that many Americans blew their savings & credit on a lot of stuff. So what's your point? You can still have a prosperous nation w/ citizens who spend the money they earn without going into debt. A society based on free market capitalism does not require anyone to get into debt. There was a time, long ago, when people saved their money FOR MANY YEARS to buy something.

[newb2yutube]

You are full of shit Mishu. People save for security. Not to 'buy' things. Free market capitalism IS DEBT. WTF are you smoking?! Take some basic econ 101 and learn about macro and micro economics.

[MishuTaste]

I save my money to buy things in the future that I can't afford today. No bank is going to give me credit. So explain to me why I'm required to BORROW MONEY to live in a free market, capitalist society?

[newb2yutube]

Cause the money you're going to be using is BORROWED MONEY. Even if you earn it through a job. Its like creating an IOU and telling everyone to accept it. Through their faith(accepting it) the IOU creates VALUE and therefore money....HENCE it is DEBT. Free market, capitalist society(i.e. Price system) equals DEBT and needs to continually GROW in order to FUNCTION. That is why we have loans from banks. The System SUCKS and you're being fooled that it is normal and good for you.

[Gantzer1]

@newb2yutube yup nail on the head mate couldn't have said it better it just so the immoral power driven greedy physcopaths (and i mean the majority of these people are) can rule us as modern day kings, and victimise us as much as they like.

[newb2yutube]

You specifically are not required to Borrow money. Unfortunately, in order for the system to keep on going some one has to do it. That is where the poor and middle class come in, and the Government(for gov't jobs). Even great economic thinkers like Milton Friedman know the system is crappy and flawed and doomed to collapse at a certain time. So please, tell me why it is good for society?

[MishuTaste]

If a business borrowed money from a bank to expand, and created a few jobs, and paid back the loan in, say, 10 years, and became a profitable business, why would that be a bad thing? And what if you had a CD at that same bank and got part of the interest of that business loan? A pool of savings can provide business loans, businesses can provide jobs for the poor, and banks & their investors can get a profit from the interest of the loan. What's the problem w/ that?

[newb2yutube]

Cause it's based on exponential growth and will collapse at any time. Milton Friedman acknowledge this fact. We grow by increasing debt, creating crap jobs, that create crap consuming devices like the things you see on T.V. infomercials and or last for a few months. Yup, that is capitalism, wasting materials on creating crap. We are on the cusp of the biggest energy crisis because of our exponential growth economy. Yet, not enough people care to do something.

[MishuTaste]

Have you ever bought crap? And if so, why?

[BOZ11]

what's funny is that u think you're on your way to making a crushing point, but it's asinine

[newb2yutube]

Lmao....you may be laughing at america now. But when the system fails where the hell you gonna get your materials, grain, etc? If I'm living in Europe, I would be scared shitless. Plus, blowing money on consumption is what capitalism is all about. Growing debt, growing jobs, is what this system is all about. unfortunately we live in a closed system(earth) and yet depend on a social system dependent on exponential growth. Capitalism didn't make this country great, Technology and resources did.

[Coelacanth1938]

In all seriousness, why should any American being worried about whether or not they are being envied?

[wrt7]

cool!!

[Teenagefreedomfightr]

Great.. I'm fucking lost. Thanks YouTube.

[wyzguy333]

Good for Rep. Patrick Kennedy today for calling out the national press corp.!! 7 years in Iraq when they were not the perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks!!

Is it any wonder the "media" are now corporate "conglomerates"!!

The teabaggers don't get it!!

[buckeyefan05]

Oh great! New features on YouTube! I feel all warm and fuzzy inside! (sarcasm)

[jcsundevil]

That guy makes a great point about the conflicts of Democracy vs Capitalism, and I love people that try to discredit Michael Moore because of what he drives or what he makes. How about giving a valid counter argument? Exactly.

[1337gam3r07]

oh please, I bet this bumblehead left the studio and pulled out in a new Mercedes-Benz.

[MonyMG1959]

@1337gam3r07 So?

[tntrampage1]

michael moore for president!

[talllikelurchis]

@tntrampage1 Michael Moron made over 50million dollars of sales of dvds, movies, speaking fees and television appearances! Michael Moron made millions off capitalism! What a hypocrite! The liberal pukes that "pay" to see his movies are making that fat slob laughing all the way to the bank...LOL! For President? Isn't the Jack Ass now we have for President a joke enough for you?

[abulach]

naive

[tntrampage1]

obviously, but i would rather have his fat ass for president than our current "president"

[xxSpeedxMetalxx]

@talllikelurchis well i just want to say that he will die by the cross with his messages he has to get public some maybe all of that is true but he may or may not want that publicity

[skippers96]

ты дурак

[DrMu5tCh3at2W1n]

MM doesn't know the difference between capitalism and corporatism. Capitalism in Ancient Greece didn't have insurance companies....

i hate walmart

[Lizi99]

: an economic system characterized by private or corporate ownership of capital goods, by investments that are determined by private decision, and by prices, production, and the distribution of goods that are determined mainly by competition in a free market

[Lizi99]

You capitalized off a sick story making fun of high school kids going on a killing spree. You capitalized on a drive for federal health care that opened the door to the most ruthless administration to ever serve our Nation, & they embed and propagate the destructions of our freedoms on the most basic level with this health care reform. NAFTA has taken away the ability for Americans to capitalize off of small businesses. It is the monstrous corporations that are the culprits it is called greed.

[dimaniak]

Ron Paul 2012!

BUY GOLD!!!

[Bowyerma]

@dimaniak go away troll nobody cares

[dimaniak]

you will care when your precious Obama will create hyperinflation and gold will hit $5000

[Bowyerma]

The 1.5 trillion dollars between the recovery and investment act of 2009 and emergency stability act of 2008 as well as the imbalances in the 2009 2010 and 2011 budgets are that way for a reason. The debt is supposed to create inflation to devalue currency so that our products are competitive in the international market. This is all planned. It will take a few more years before interest on the national debt creates hyperinflation. Glenn Beck has his dick in your ass btw.

[dimaniak]

what products? Americans don't produce anything. All your production base was moved to asia

[DarkLordCallMeDickC]

Yep, gotta love the "free market".

[DarkLordCallMeDickC]

First we don't have any products. WE don't make anything anymore, we just sell intangiable bull shit. Second, fuck the international market and all this globalist bull shit let's start making stuff for our own citizens and all that shit will follow.

[UOGSammich]

can't wait for the movie!

[getter7seven]

Anybody happen to have any inkling if there'll be a special edition dvd of sorts for Capitalism the way there was an extended one for Sicko? I'd definitely sooner hold out for the best version considering money being tight.

[treid100182]

Well said
