You can flirt with capitalism, but don't fall in love with him

After watching too many Michael Moore films, it doesn't feel like it. But it's still good-looking. There are documentaries that are deeper than him, but maybe not those who tell stories like him.
Moore really lacks the ability to critically analyze. His solution is to find an example for the social situation he wants to criticize - look at people! The part about medical treatment takes Europe and even Cuba as a positive example. This one is about America's post-war golden age until Reagan came to power. As for the model he set up, and its internal complexities and ills, he doesn't care.
Moore came from a working-class family, and his bloated appearance is definitely blue-collar, but is he a representative of blue-collar workers and the working people of the United States? I doubt.
Without real critical ability, in the end it is just a pair of happy enemies with capitalism. It is ironic to see Moore pinning his hopes on Obama, going back to the Roosevelt era and moving out of the Second Amendment to the Constitution.
Capital and democracy have many faces, even if someone who understands capitalism flirts with him, but there are many people who truly love him, so that's a cup.
Capitalism is also good at flirting with people who oppose him and want to kick him, like Moore.
In the end, I really don't know who toyed with who. The game continues.
