Review of Capitalism: A Love Story

Moore’s smartarse style can be irritating but here his full frontal polemic hits the nail bang on the head; the US brand of Capitalism, as practised since Ronald Reagan and his croney Donald Regan set the bull loose, is a rotten system.

I was particularly pleased that along the way Moore skewered the Right’s ridiculous appropriation of Christianity; the public have been well and truly hoodwinked on that line. The corruption of privatised criminal justice, with profits made from the incarceration of youngsters for trivial offences, was both telling and troubling. Of course the media continues its dirty brainwashing on behalf of the corporate exploiters. It’ll take a lot more than Michael Moore for the necessary change, but the film does show the potential of a united stand and that even in the US it hasn’t always been this way; Franklin D Roosevelt’s intended Bill of Rights a poignant missed opportunity and an alternative that should still be aimed for.
