Very informative film:
Quote:
On the 20-year anniversary of his groundbreaking masterpiece Roger & Me, Michael Moore's Capitalism: A Love Story comes home to the issue he's been examining throughout his career: the disastrous impact of corporate dominance on the everyday lives of Americans (and by default, the rest of the world). But this time the culprit is much bigger than General Motors, and the crime scene far wider than Flint, Michigan. From Middle America, to the halls of power in Washington, to the global financial epicenter in Manhattan, Michael Moore will once again take film goers into uncharted territory. With both humor and outrage, Michael Moore's Capitalism: A Love Story explores a taboo question: What is the price that America pays for its love of capitalism? Years ago, that love seemed so innocent. Today, however, the American dream is looking more like a nightmare as families pay the price with their jobs, their homes and their savings. Moore takes us into the homes of ordinary people whose lives have been turned upside down; and he goes looking for explanations in Washington, DC and elsewhere. What he finds are the all-too-familiar symptoms of a love affair gone astray: lies, abuse, betrayal...and 14,000 jobs being lost every day. Capitalism: A Love Story is both a culmination of Moore's previous works and a look into what a more hopeful future could look like. It is Michael Moore's ultimate quest to answer the question he's posed throughout his illustrious filmmaking career: Who are we and why do we behave the way that we do?

:roll: :twisted:

That's disgusting how can companies insure their workers, in the hopes they will die. :evil:

Like how some started to work in a cooperative without money involved, its about the only way mankind will ever succeed if we abolish money, not make more (print more), yet git rid! :idea:
Then that denies wealthiness, it stops countries invading others for profit, people needing to continuously buy the same house that is already made. :idea:

Some would say we can't do that, yet that's the title of the thread, its a capitalist agenda to want to make money from something. :? There are open source code projects, musicians, doctors, charities, farmers, etc, who simply want to do things as they like doing them, not to make money, its the overheads imposed by some wealthy, that make it not possible for people to live the life they want. :?:
