More unsolicited drivel. Objectivists would rob people of their right to decide what kind of a society they are to live in, and that makes them anti-freedom.

Well then, I'm guessing you're not interested. No point in clicking on the source for you. Others may differ.

I knew it would probably be CJ to sling the first arrow. "Satan, get thee away from me!" Eh, CJ?

Unless I am severely mistaken about the philosophy, Objectivism would permit a group of people to form their own community based on religious morality or socialism or anything else, so long as all members were there voluntarily and the community did not violate the rights of any persons outside of that community.

The objectivists might not like that community, but their philosophy would prevent them from using force to rob people of the choice to move there if they so desired.

I'd like to live in a libertarian society composed of Calvinists.

Will you agree, or attempt to rob me of my right to decide what kind of society to live in?

objectivists rob nothing, they create - it is the non-producing sappers of the society that producers have created that drag the society down to their level - the level where they can be supported by the government that the producers fund

Problem is that you want to decide what kind of society _I_ live in and you are quite willing to do it at the point of a government gun. Pardon me if I object.

The Libertarians borrow their vision from someone who admired those who are not "men of unborrowed vision".
