    Dodecahedron, what you need to understand is the difference between capitalism and corporatism. Corporate bailouts are corporatism/socialism not capitalism. Iraq War is also socialist/corporatist as it taxes liberty to spend on private venture elsewhere - that is corporatism. Capitalism being spread at gunpoint is no longer capitalism, its corporatism. These huge credit bubbles of our current economic housing crisis (and other bubbles) are created by direct intervention by the government through subsidies and other programs. let's face it though, if we are talking about corporatism then we both agree. we need to understand how corporatism and big government affects free markets and society. that should have been the point of Michael Moore's film, not how we should adopt socialism and think of 'capitalism' as a bad word
