Why did you ping your big brothers? Or are those your aliases?
I realize it's a controversial statement, but not because it's not true.
The reactions I get to it really make me feel sorry for people -- people who think they really get Rand, and just can't connect the dots. It's true that nothing takes root quite like a bad idea. And Rand's capitalism made Marx right.
I read that as you saying....we are better with Western European style socialism as it prevents pure Marxism....that is disturbing
a small ‘L’ libertarian myself(who votes mostly conservative)...I take the BEST of Rand....as she was a pure idealist who had no use for practicality in her philosophy...I do not take her as ‘gospel’.
