Zeitgeist: Moving Forward (2011)
The most important documentary ever
Marxists have been screaming the exact same points Peter Joseph makes in this film for a century. I do however find it funny that the movie claims not to be Marxist or communist, especially since ALL of his critiques of the current system are borrowed from Marxists.
Finally, their is a documentary with mass appeal that takes the time to actually explain this to people on a (just barely) intellectual level. Maybe finally all the Alex Jones "GUBERMINT IS TAKIN MAH FREEEEEEDUMS!" libertarians will finally realize that their free-market vision is only part of the problem... not likely.
Regardless, by outlining the core problems with out current socioeconomic system and detailing a viable alternative, this documentary represents the most important documentary humanity will ever encounter. As Marxists and Zeitgeist points out, any solutions that work within the framework of capitalism can only delay or alter the inevitable path to destruction.
Generation Zero (2010)
What a load of garbage
Wow, i've never seen such a ridiculous piece of right-wing propaganda in my life. With a straight face, they actually try to make the case that the 2008 financial crash was the fault of...get this... 1960s hippies. Yes, you heard me correctly, it was The LIBRULS!!11!!!!!1 The crash didn't happen because of deregulation, corruption and financial deepening - no, it was because Americans lost their 'morals' and began consuming conspicuously. that's right. the consumer's fault. we did this. oh, and the democrats, of course.....and the Chinese for some reason.
This is a sad attempt to say that this wasn't capitalism's fault - that it was a perversion of capitalism with too much government intervention.
