Capitalism: A Love Story (2009)
written & directed by
Michael Moore



I know its not a popular idea,
and im also known for my radical opinions
but i do love capitalism.

by definition:
Capitalism is an economic and social system in which capital and land, the non-labor factors of production (also known as the means of production), are privately ownedlabor, goods and resources are traded in markets; and profit, after taxes, is distributed to the owners or invested in technologies and industries.


I dig what this means.
Being an artist the right to sell my art how i see fit 

means a lot to me.
But what ruins this pristine idea 

is simply greed.

And this is what Michael Moore should really have focused on in this 

humorous documentary.
Its no secret that Moore holds his socialist ideals

close to heart.
Watch any of his documentaries and you will see

just how one sided his arguments are.

I mean, if you borrow against your home,
surely you cant be ignorant of the fact that your going 

to lose your home if you don't keep up
on payments.

The tragedy here, is that the banks messed up
and it was the poor who lost their homes.

But the beauty here in Capitalism: A Love Story

is how he successfully strung together 
shocking horrorific news
of people being thrown out of their homes
to a social uprising.

Which made my heart beat fast till i was bursting into tears
from sheer joy in what humanity is capable of
when pulled together.

I wont dismiss Moore's one sided debate.
He is to me a master of edutainment.

And in a world where TV is the new source
of education - Moore is truly a hero for good.
