Michael Moore is not "instinctively groping" towards anything. First, Moore is not someone unfamiliar with the elements of Marxism and socialism. So his presentation is not instinctive, unformed, "raw." It is studied, crafted, prepared.He's no newcomer to this.
Secondly, he is an unrepentant endorser of Democrats, including Democrat general officers of the US military. Thirdly, he wraps his anti-capitalism in a nostalgia for the decades gone by, and presidents gone dead, like FDR, as if somehow capitalism was more democratic in the 50s. Keerist, he can't even get nostalgic for a decade of significant resistance to capitalism in the auto plants with the emergence of D.R.U.M. and the creation of the League of Revolutionary Black Workers. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pat Byrne" <[email protected]> To: "David Schanoes" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, September 28, 2009 4:58 PM Subject: Re: [Marxism] Michael Moore interview with Bill Maher ________________________________________________ YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message.
