Spoiler alert -- at the end of the movie, Michael Moore says "Capitalism is evil." Sorry guys.

OK, So possibly this is not such a surprise considering the title of the moview. Michael Moore is nothing if not consistent -- he hates abusive institutions of all sorts.

VENICE (Reuters) - Capitalism is evil. That is the conclusion U.S. documentary maker Michael Moore comes to in his latest movie "Capitalism: A Love Story," which premieres at the Venice film festival Sunday.

"Capitalism is an evil, and you cannot regulate evil," the two-hour movie concludes.

The bad guys in Moore's mind are big banks and hedge funds which "gambled" investors' money in complex derivatives that few, if any, really understood and which belonged in the casino.

Meanwhile, large companies have been prepared to lay off thousands of staff despite boasting record profits.

2. a bit simplistic isnt it?

Unbridled capitalism is evil, but you really have three options, unregulated capitalism, communism and regulated capitalism. Unless we want to return to the barter system.

4. how about socialism, communitarianism, mercantilism, and others?

seems like there are a lot of better alternatives to the type of oligarchic capitalism we have today. Lenin was right: the end stage of capitalism is imperialism, and we're seeing it right now.

3. Capitalism isn't just evil, it is deadly to our economy and will eventually lead to the..........

total collapse of our nation. The 'corporate republic of greed's' trend continues downward.
