[lbo-talk] Americas Vichy Left vs. Michael Moore

[Charles Brown]

I don't see how criticism of Michael Moore ( whom I love dearly) ,criticism
of him on this list is going to hurt his film from being very, very widely
seen by masses of Americans, so , this is a good place to be clear
theoretically on what F9/11 is politically.  Moore is an old/new lefty and
would understand the critcisms here. As I say, he was on this list for a hot
minute. Anyway, I think the radical criticism here is good in that it is not
going to hurt Moore's project, but will...you know , develop left theory in
this concrete period.

 
And further, as activists on the list have said, Moore's film being on the
minds of millions gives a popular artifact ( leaflet) from which to raise
more radical ideas , sometimes in argument with the movie. That's
dialectics. It's all good.
