Re “Now This Is His Kind of Company,” by Betsy Sharkey, Sept. 15: Is Michael Moore a cinematic genius? He makes a movie based on the absurdly false notion that socialism works and capitalism doesn’t and has the audience roaring in approval at the end.
Or is it less Moore’s genius and more the liberal audience’s ignorance at work here? I wonder how his anti-capitalist screed would play in the run-down barrios of that wonderland of socialism, Castro’s Cuba?
