I don't know, Adam; Ayn Rand gets misinterpreted alot, I read 'Atlas Shrugged', and that was it; I liked it, I learned alot about her objectivist stance; would probably read again (older), but the recent books you suggested are far more enthralling than any other piece of fiction out there, at least in my opinion...
When you have genuine douchebags like that guy from the news telling his audience how Ayn Rand is this futuristic thriller of how our society will crumble, that's when you start worrying about the mentality behind all those television networks.
I hate how Americans can be so easily manipulated and brainwashed, it makes me sick. |

Douchebags like to pretend they are a lot of things they're not. Why should that reflect poorly on Rand's writing and views of the world? |

Capitalizt wouldn't know a cohesive political philosophy if it was stuffed right up his arse.
| quote: |
Several prominent critics of the movement, including Murray Rothbard (who helped define modern libertarianism and anarcho-capitalism),[118] Jeff Walker,[119] and Michael Shermer (libertarian and founder of the The Skeptics Society),[120] view Objectivism as a cult, arguing that it exhibited typical cult traits, including slavish adherence to unprovable doctrines and extreme adulation of the founder. |
if rand was anything of note she would have played an influential role in 20th century academia. she didn't. she's only famous for being a cuckoo. |
