It's amazing. It's such a fantastic system, and they manage it with so little funding comparatively. After seeing how bad it is in America, and also how good it was in the UK at the time the documentary came out, all I could think of was what's to come.
Capitalists want nothing more than the end of Cuba, and it's miraculous socialist healthcare, and the UK is quickly eroding away at the NHS. I seriously may have to consider learning Spanish and getting out of here if this place keeps getting worse and worse.
Seeing the happiness on the faces of these Americans being treated in Cuba for pennies, the gentle way the doctors acted towards these people as humans rather than as meatbags of profit.
I'm not an emotional guy, but it really nearly had me for a second. What a fucking stupid world.
Moore seems like he’s functionally a lib, though there are some things in his movies (especially in Capitalism: A Love Story) that make me wonder if he’s more left than he lets on. In general, though, he’s amazing at creating emotionally impactful propaganda and I feel like it’s not the worst idea for people on the left to look to his work for inspiration in terms of how to frame a particular message to influence the widest possible audience.
(edit: clarity)
He's got brain worms and is a radlib (kinda' in that Oliver Stone way) but he's been a force for good as far as I can tell.
Yeah, I think definitely worth engaging with Moore's work. Reading and watching 'lib' content like Chomsky and Moore is good for knowing how to convince libs to listen to you.
