Socialist Bank
March 31, 2010 2 Comments
The best reasons to watch Michael Moore’s Capitalism DVD are the extras. There are 8 or 9 of them, including one about the Bank of North Dakota. It explains how this state, of all states, ended up with an unapologetically socialist bank. Luckily, much of Moore’s extra is available on YouTube:
And the best part of the extra is the old farming footage. I know Moore took footage from the North Dakota Historical Society film collection. But maybe not all of it…are those mountains in the scene at 1:33?

Cat, the Youtube image and link didn’t appear for me on this page. I think I found the right video, however, and I enjoyed the story. What a concept–a bank for the people. Kind of like non-profit insurance.
And yes, those certainly look like mountains to me! Just where in ND do you think they took that footage?
Thanks Susan, I fixed it. Those mountains look like Colorado to me.
