Amanda Seyfried backs 'gorgeous' system

Socialism has its critics and supporters, and Amanda Seyfried's latest statement indicates she falls into the latter category.

She describes the philosophy as “a gorgeous idea” that promotes “taking care of each other more in society."

Living under the capitalist system, Amanda, in contrast, shares her views on socialism, which she explains is, “If I have more money, I can spend more money on other people. Isn’t that right?”

The actress shares her observations on Variety’s Award Circuit podcast while promoting her forthcoming movie, The Testament of Ann Lee.

“Thank God we’re talking about Ann Lee so much, because there’s a direct relationship to what she created and what we’re lacking,” she shares.

“How about we all don’t have any kind of agendas? How about our agenda is take care of each other? Socialism is a gorgeous idea, and I know it doesn’t work perfectly,” the actress notes.

Amanda's The Testament of Ann Lee will bow out in theatres on Dec 25, as its logline reads, "a speculative musical fable about Ann Lee, the visionary leader of the 18th-century Shaker movement, as she journeys from England to America, facing persecution while building a utopian society based on gender equality and radical spiritual ecstasy, expressed through fervent song and dance, embodying a female Christ figure's pursuit of grace and a new world."
