A Celluloid Window Into Their World

A recent spate of documentaries with leftist sympathies offers an opportunity to witness the left's true beliefs.

Morgan Spurlock's Super Size Me shows the left's view of personal responsibility. It's not my fault I'm an overweight and unhealthy: it's McDonald's.

Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 911, and the enthusiastic reception it has received, demonstrates the irrational hatred that many on the left have for President Bush.

And now The Corporation, which purports to psychoanalyze corporate culture, gives us a glimpse into what the left thinks of corporations:

While the film mounts overwhelming evidence of the corporation's growing influence in all aspects of public life, Achbar doesn't think that corporations are invulnerable or invincible. The film alludes to the fall of institutions ranging from slavery to Stalinism, and demonstrates the power of activists and ordinary people to curb corporate misdeeds.

Slavery, Stalinism, and corporations. All evil institutions deserving destruction in the minds of the left (although they didn't always feel that way about Uncle Joe). Ponder that one on your way to work tomorrow morning. If you're like me and many other Americans, you work for one of these evil corporations.
