I think Rand has a valid point taken intentionally to an impractical extreme by strangely drawn characters. Even in her book, striking or “going Galt” as many say today, was only a temporary shock designed to reveal to the public the moral and logistical bankruptcy of the looter/moocher/tyrant philosophy of self-sacrifice (for everyone else), and to disable it’s promoters. Once those things were done, the gulchers intended to rebuild society in a form in which each person could benefit from his own work and from the contributions of those mythic super-producers she revered. So the message isn’t so much selfishness as respect and gratitude for people who know how to do things.
Yes she was a nut, Many here dont seem to realize that atlas shrugged was a work of FICTION...there are no black helicopter circling your house.....there are no aliens trying to preform an anal probe on you...fiction. Damn....people are soooooo stupid.
Amen! (To the article.)
