Back in the ‘60’s and ‘70’s I read Ayn Rand’s stuff. I found it puerile.

“Galt’s Gulch” would immediately attacked by the US Army. You think not? You think they could successfully hide? Do you think that the existing “powers that be” would hesitate a second, a millisecond, to kill some or all seeking shelter there?

Get real. The world is not about wealth, about freedom, or about a high standard of living. The world is most certainly not about justice. The world is about Power. And Power, as Mao pointed out, comes from the muzzle of a gun. Power is killing.

Well, they have a place for you in China, or Saudi Arabia, or Zimbabwe. I suggest you apply for Immigrant status. Any of them will suit your outlook although China might assimilate you more readily than the other’s.
