Michael Moore: What We're Seeing is the End of Capitalism

"These guys, for all that stuff they've been telling us all these years about, 'Go capitalism! Free market! Free enterprise!' They don't believe in any of that. They don't believe in free enterprise or free market. They want socialism for themselves. They want a handout and a net for themselves. To hell with everybody else, but give it to them. And I think, really, what we're seeing now -- with them, with the banks -- we're seeing the end of capitalism. The end of capitalism as we know it and I say good riddance. It hasn't helped the people or the planet." -- Michael Moore on Larry King Live, Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

From what I can tell, the problem with American capitalism is (1) the failure to regulate all classes of dangerous capitalistic practices, and (2) allowing wealthy corporations undue influence on government via lobbyist and the electoral process - thereby gaining access to ways to cheat the system and pursue dangerous capitalistic practices. Until we fix that , the problems will continue without stopping. Rich corporations should get absolutely no special consideration or they will destroy us

Free market and free enterprice has never existed, because thats only possible for thos who own all capitalgoods and money! We all going to stay poor and never going to be free. Money say's: In God we trust. The God of men, didn't made money in his image. The God of money is Mammon and I do not belief in Mommon! Because Mammon is a demon. Indeed Mr. Moore, this is going to end because the God of men will sends the new Jesus and He will set us free from capitalism slavery. God bless us all!

To everyone on this comment page, You all need to Listen to what Friedman said. Fuck Michael mooer and all of these other retards who try to shove what sells based upon modern day media.

LISTEN to what this man says in his lectures. Even though it was more than 30 years ago. It's very concurrent with the problems we face today

@BLUESGUITARMANIAC yep and Al Gore invented the internet. Both parties have candidates with ridiculous thoughts and ideas. Most are out of touch.

@MrCipriani18 I agree which is why I'm for regulated capitalism.

[MrCipriani18]

@JasonCIAHudson Yeah I know but as you may know, back when socialism was founded, the workers were more like REAL SLAVES (hell, the boss could even have them killed if they refused to work and strike etc) Like I have said before I am against ALL forms of oppression, and it does not matter if they call themselves socialist, conservative, fascist or Neo-liberal (capitalist) or whatever just kick em out

(Sorry: My English is not that great)

[JasonCIAHudson]

@MrCipriani18 I agree that regulations have their place but look at what happened in countries that are government controlled and their is a lot more oppression than having to work overtime sometimes. BTW most businesses in our capitalist system are self employed.

[MrCipriani18]

@brightingsky2009 Well said, mate...

[MrCipriani18]

@JasonCIAHudson Capitalism with restrictions works, let the capitalists rule however: ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE! (Just look at Russia after the fall of communism or Chile during Pinochet) Long live REAL FREEDOM! (Where we are not slaves under the corporations)
