Michael Moore explains Everything You Always Needed to Know About Capitalism

In this segment from "Countdown", Michael Moore describes the 30 year long trajectory that capitalism has taken toward failure, and he NAILS IT! Economist Paul Krugman may be brilliant and say the same thing in a much more elaborate way, but for a succinct summary of how capitalism went totally out of control and screwed us, you can't beat this. All those angry teabaggers need to see this so they can understand that our real enemy is runaway corporate greed, and that the problem is not government, but lack of it.

@wvajim Noticed that I said FAR RIGHT? The fact that you identified with them doesn't speak well of you.

.

Look at the Alabama primaries. They attacked each other (the Reps did) using some of the most inane insults ever. One candidate used an attack ad where he accused another GOP candidate of not being fit to run for office because HE BELIEVED IN EVOLUTION! Another advert called Obama a terrorist. How can you take these assclowns seriously

.

Are you one of them? If so please vote 4 Sarah Palin

I like Michael because he doesn't talk in diction that nobody understands, like a lot of politicians do when they're trying to get out of hot water.

wow, another Michael Moore/Paul Krugman fanfag. I thought you clowns were all laughed out of polite company by now.

[facepalmization]

It is ALL a staged act folks. There has never been any kind of freedom of choice in western society. It is ALL a gigantic lie to enslave YOU. 1% of the population controls 80% of the resources. That is the proof that the system is fucked, slanted and designed from the start to destroy all individuality. Both sides in politics are owned and funded by the same fascist overlords. Follow the money. Do the research and see where it all stems from. Kill the wealthy today, make the world a better place

DERP I DONT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CORPORATISM AND CAPITALISM

[gunner5050]

All I saw from this interview were two liberals putting down capitalism. They have all been brain washed to believe that capatilism has never worked. Just like Obumer! So why is the US the greatest country in the world?

First of all, by law the realtor was required to notify the buyer about the type of loan they were getting into. I know this because I got a home loan during this time and the realtor notified me of the law. Michael, you are full of sh#$%^t! Since you are in the 1%, will you be giving up your wealth to the poor?

[Pizzaparty152]

Wow, Michael Moore is an idiot.

@jkirk1626 derpa derpa USSR huh? welcome to 1991.

[jkirk1626]

Fanny and Freddy were government-created entities to do end-runs around the market, which never would have made these loans to begin with. So blaming Capitalism/the market for government impositions is absurd. USSR, North Korea, the PRC's explosive growth after adopting market mechanism lays the tires, discredited leftist pipe dreams to rest in the garbage heap of history.

[jkirk1626]

It's frustrating for the Left to see their model's credibility collapse with the Berlin Wall. North Korea is where the Left's model leads. The Capitalist nations' residents aren't lining up to overstay visas in Eastern Europe, the PRC, Cuba and North Korea. It's the other way around. No one is stopping millionaire Michael Moore from moving to where the Communist form of socialism is alive and well. The Nazi party was another socialist party. In name an in practice (confiscating property).
