"Capitalism is about socities cannibalizing themselves"

[dixiegrrrrl]

From interview with Chris Hedges in Moore's movie Capitalism:

Practically every sentence Hedges said packs a punch.

Here...
"When capitalism is the dominant ideology...it turns EVERYTHING into a commodity, including human beings".

"It exploits these commodities until they are destroyed".
"Built into capitalism is a form of annihilation".

"this economic collapse is going to disrupt the social, cultural, economic life of ordinary Americans"
"what is so tragic is they are trying to sustain an unsustainable system ( capitalism".

"It comes from being an imperial power...all imperial powers end as we end, that the tyranny they impose on others they finally impose on themselves".

Huge thank you to Mira for insisting I see this film.:pals:


If you have not seen it yet, I do encourage a viewing, especially on the dvd which has EXTRAS,
including the interview with Hedges. The interview alone is worth the dvd, IMHO.
