  • "Yet they had spoken the language of fairness and equality.... men who spoke of such ideals were not to be trusted."

    This is not the essence of the issue at all. Rand was never in favor of "fairness" unless by fairness one meant "justice," and even at the age of 12 she didn't believe in equality of outcome.

    She rejected these things philosophically, on principle, not out of some associative "Thugs preached equality, therefore I hate equality."

  • Ok, so the family is deprived of a means of making a living, and Ayn is "indignant"? One is "indignant" when someone cuts ahead in line, or when a politician is exposed for corruption, not when one's whole life is stolen from them. "Seething with hatred" would be more like it; "indignant" makes it sound like she was abstractly annoyed at having been made a slave of the state.

  • The Fountainhead was her third novel, not her second.

  • 2:57  "Sang-GWEEN"? C'mon.

  • Wait a second. Ayn's father "could be grateful" that "only" his means of living had been seized, and not his life? Grateful that the thugs didn't kill him?!? "Oh, thank you for not taking my life as you might have, awfully generous of you." What a load of crap.
