Moore even expressed admiration for Castro in his 1997 book “Downsize
This.”
The filmmaker also spoke at the 1998 Socialist Scholars Conference at
the City University of New York, which was sponsored by the
university’s chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America. The theme
of the conference that year was “One Hundred and Fifty Years After The
Communist Manifesto.”
An October 2002 capture of Moore’s website from Archive.org shows him
recommending links to the Democratic Socialists of America and
Solidarity: A Socialist Feminist Organization.
“Michael Moore is a communist Leninist, Stalinist,” political
commentator and former leftist David Horowitz told The Daily Caller,
noting the Mother Jones Sandinista episode.
But Horowitz’s colleague and fellow former
communist-turned-conservative activist Ron Radosh disagrees with
Horowitz’s description of Moore as a “communist”, saying the filmmaker
is more of a garden variety ‘60s neo-Marxist radical than a
Marxist-Leninist in the mold of the Communist Party USA.
“He is anti-American, pro any activism, and a demagogue,” Radosh told
TheDC. “CPrs [communist party members] were shrewder and more
ideological, adhering to a line. Moore knows nothing about Marxism and
couldn’t care less about it.
“I would call him a far-left extremist and radical, who follows the
most extreme trajectory of the 60’s New Left.”
