“Where to Invade Next" is an eye-opening Michael Moore social commentary documentary available on Netflix.
Moore travels
to many forward thinking progressive European countries to find fantastic
social ideas about running a great country...and discovers all the great things
are originally American ideas not currently practised there because America is
a place that presently structures with "the me" in mind while the
forward thinking societies structure everything with "the we" in mind.
This film reveals what can and
is being done in progressive and caring societies…and probably foretells the future
“Shangri-La” world when most work is done by technology requiring
little human labour.
A sample of great ideas being
practised are free university education, corporate boards require composition
of 50% workers, prisons with unarmed guards rehabilitative rather than punitive, strong sense of female equality, short work days, universal
health care, generous social services like paid maternity leave for child
daycare, generous pay, working conditions, and holidays, etc. In
Germany, the company even funds worker’s honeymoons.
Workers are treated generously
as equals with respect and dignity---rather than slave-like peons as in America.
A story well-told by Michael
Moore….but something greedy North American employers in the world’s
wealthiest economy say they can’t afford!
This is truly a work world of the future....today!
