Who's settling for anything? Moore's movie isn't a substitute for more radical action, or its enemy, or its dilution. If this were a time of revolutionary ferment, you could see it that way. But it's not. It's a way of getting perhaps millions of people to see things a little differently. Anarchists, socialists, and other radicals should keep doing their work, and thanks to Moore, they might find it a little easier. We're all in this together.
