Michael Moore Challenges Elizabeth Warren: Capitalism Economically Enslaves People
Breitbart ^ | 10/15/2019 | David Ng

Posted on 10/16/2019 6:15:42 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Left-wing documentary filmmaker Michael Moore took a swipe at Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) during the Democratic Presidential debate on Tuesday, saying that her “accountable capitalism” platform endorses a system that enslaves people.

The far-left Farenheit 9/11 director also slammed candidates Joe Biden, Amy Klobuchar, and Pete Buttigieg for their defense of capitalism in the health care system.

Yeah, I know. The question was rhetorical.

Morbidly obese pig literally bites the hand that feeds him. A metaphor for 21st century America.

The concept of “slave wages” is a contradiction in terms. Slaves don’t get wages.

"Pick your master. In this world, there are three main choices. Warlord tyrants who slaughter everyone who isn’t useful to them, or a threat; Capitalist barons, who pay you slave wages, or at least as little as they can get away with; or collective state bureaucrats who rule with an iron hand everything from housing choice and food chain logistics down to who is the fascist to control every block."

That's good! But there's a fourth choice: be one of the masters.

Here is his former spread in Michigan. From what rumours I heard or read, his nearby neighbours could not stand him personally.

...Capitalism allowed you to attain roughly physical size of a baby elephant, Michael The Hutt.

They should play “Baby Elephant Walk” whenever you waddle on stage.

Modern slaves are not in chains, they are in debt.

I guess Mikey’s had that kind of experience. One story I read about him was that (while filming on location) he would order his employees to stay in cheap, flea bag motel types of places and he’d check into swanky places that were in the same class as New York’s Plaza Hotel.

re: “Capitalist barons, who pay you slave wages, or at least as little as they can get away with;”

A system WHERE you have a chance to become a ‘Capitalist baron’.

Just ask Michael Moo -oops- he obviously has NO self awareness.

Imagine going through life where your brain is half gone and your ass sits on your shoulders.

Such is the life of Michael Moore.

~~~

Actually, our system is great because not only do you have a chance to become a baron yourself, but you have a very good opportunity to lift yourself far above being a ‘wage-slave’ simply but learning a trade, skill-set, or knowledge that allows you to garner a lot from those who need you. Having known people with the lefty mentality that would scribe to a notion like a ‘wage-slave’ there is a strong defeatist notion where the perception of opportunity like this is completely vacant. In my opinion, it’s is NOT the ‘capitalist barons’ who want people to feel like this. It is actually the collectivist crypto-fascists like Moore who need people to feel like this.

Socialism - government takes most of what you earn or inherit through taxation, then doles out the benefits it deems appropriate back to you. If that is not a from of slavery, I don’t know what is.

You couldn't tell it by his wardrobe or his personal hygiene habits but, to paraphrase baseball legend Chico Escuela, "Capitalismo been berry berry good to Miguel Moore. Berry, berry good."

Call me a skeptic, but I seriously doubt Moore would be worth tens of millions of dollars, and own multiple homes, including a $6 million vacation home in Michigan, if he had been cranking out films for the Peoples' Film-making Collective.

Yep! Jesus talked of this, and, of course, as Bob Dylan says,
“it may be the devil, or it may be the Lord, but you gotta serve somebody.”

I think a lack of understanding of the whole concept of how the human race exists and was created is what causes young people to fall into socialism. Fortunately most of them grow out of it before any real damage is done.
