"No Ordinary Romance" at Los Angeles Premiere of 'Capitalism: A Love Story'

"At the end of the film I throw a challenge out to the audience: I'm asking my fellow Americans to join with me to be involved in our democracy. But if people are going to sit on the bench, and just watch everything happen and wait for Michael Moore or somebody else to do it, I'm not going to do that anymore. So it's really up to the audience whether I make any more of these documentaries." — Michael Moore

To those idiots saying Moore is Capitalistic in profiting from this movie, the answer is simple - Capitalism doesn't prevent you from profiting by using legal means. Moore is talking about using capitalism as a cover for Corruption. Don't know why some people don't understand things this simple.

Mike does no the difference. The problem is we have unregulatged captialism which has become corporatism.

[RigoKellerColas]

That's what I have wanted to say. I don't understand either.

Moore's movie is more about corporatism then capitalism. We haven't had capitalism for at least 100 years.

He isn't talking about small businesses when he makes that statement. He's referring to the large institutions that will maximize profits at any cost not matter how immoral.

to hell with all your 'isms'.

In this world, might makes right and all that's being proposed by MM is that the people who actually do the jobs that makes the creation of value possible should be more equitiably rewarded for that work. Wall Street/Bay Street doesn't DO fair....it'll just take everything it can get at whoever's expense; fair or no fair. It's time to fight for what's right, right NOW!!

first of all, you obviously know nothing about what fascism is, or you would acknowledge the fact that what we have is fascism. you're taking it in the ass from the very people you are defending with your mis-information. either that or you really believe that liberals are out to take your money. i hope your insurance carrier doesn't try to deny you that vital operation you'll need in the future with a "pre-existing condition" claim...all that money you've paid, to get fucked like that?

If Moore doesn't mind capitalism without corruption, why didn't he call the film "corruption and capitalism: a love story"? I think you know why: Moore doesn't believe capitalism is an ethical system no matter what. Instead he prefers socialism, which he is very forthcoming about.

[trekfan92]

Then why does Moore say that capitalism overall is just legalized greed? Doesn't make any sense.
