Michael Moore: "Capitalism is Evil…Except for Mine"

 

 

The great political scientist Michael Moore tells us all again why it is the very system that lifted mankind out of the dark ages of Old World misery for the hordes and extreme stratification of social classes is such an evil thing. Moore seems to find endless faults with a system by which a middle class was allowed to flourish, life expectancies increased, disease and malnutrition subsided into the ancient past, and literacy and opportunity for personal improvement and the political power of personal liberty took hold as never before.

 

A people found more free time on their hands, good transportation and the ability to communicate and gain knowledge, live longer, and be happier through their own fruits and the fruits of over 200 years of brave souls keeping government out of the affairs of men and Michael Moore thinks it’s a bad thing. In fact, that after thousands of years of primitive human history, liberty and capitalism have come along and brought us the light bulb, modern medicine, the air plane, the automobile, space exploration, the MP3 player, and yes the movie theater and DVDs is of no consequence Mr. Moore (or perhaps we should say, "Mr. Less").

 

Of course the most absurd aspect of his ignorant diatribes is the hypocrisy, which makes them more than one can bear. Michael Moore, like so many American statists, has made his fortune, and now he finds his calling in blocking the way for the rest of us, all while suggesting that human suffering inflicted by a self-interested state is a good thing.

 

Given that alternative to capitalism, regressing back towards the top-heavy governments of the past or their socialist contemporaries where hundreds of millions have suffered and were murdered, one wonders if Michael Moore really is that evil or if he just doesn’t do much reading or listening outside his little Hollywood bubble. If he’s as good a study as he is a hygienist, it may, to his credit, be the latter.
