In my last analysis of the interview between Neo-Communist filmmaker Michael Moore and Neo-Socialist comedian Bill Maher I demonstrated how Moore has embraced a kitsch Marxism. He simply updated the terminology of Marxism but maintained the notion of class conflict.

Here Moore addresses Maher's (entirely correct) criticism that the opposite of capitalism (no government control of the economy) is communism (complete government control of the economy):

Michael, if you destroy capitalism, there’ll be no more Pizza Hut All-You-Can-Eat Buffet Nights. And what’ll you do then, huh?

Moore is a dishonest crud. He really doesn’t want to destroy capitalism any more than he wants to give his million plus dollar estate and his cheeseburgers. What he wants is power. Like most putrid populists he doesn’t give a damn about the “little man.” All Moore cares about is himself.

Moore vs. Maher?

That’s like one of Howard Stern’s battle of wits contests....

I don't think so. Unless our kids are quadraplegic, they can outrun him.

remember now, that many children attend public school and that Moore would be considered someone who many teachers would allow to come into their classroom. Thus, the ability of those children to run away from Moore is severely limited.
