Why have a movement dedicated to her principles when what she advocates already runs rampant in the world...? Does the world need to have this stuff imposed?
-
It's funny to see so many supporting her view of altruism.
I'd like to see how long those very same people survive in a world that ran with her principles.
The world would be in a endless cycle of destruction, death, and betrayal.
It would be impossible for anyone to love anyone if EVERYONE were selfish. lol
-
If she had to choose between letting her husband die, or letting someone else's husband die? What if it were, letting her husband die, or letting many other husband's die. Along her line of thinking, the wives of the other husbands that died, would take vengeance against her and husband...simply because selfishly, it would make them feel better.
In her selfishness, she would end up losing everything.
Selfishness, would make everyone enemies of each other.
Rand was a fool.

@911Blackhorn lol the world wouldnt be full at all. Humans would be extinct.
-
Bullshit. If there were no altruists, the world would be full of egoistic douchebags.

@fzqlcs I like to do my bit to show that not all socialists are brainwashed, propaganda-following, adolescents (although I am a 19 year old student so I guess I kind of conform to the stereotype) whose only motivations to support socialism are to look cool and/or to kid themselves they are intellectuals. There seem to be alot of people at uni who claim to be free-thinkers but they aren't. I want to learn and the best way to do that is to try and prove my ideology wrong.

@195ashes Good job challenging yourself with reason. It is always good to check your premises. If this intrigues you, read her book "The Virtue of Selfishness." It will blow your mind with startling clarity.
-
I understand what she's saying but part of me still doesn't want to believe her. I feel I'm altruistic by nature but maybe that's due to society's expectations. She is a damn clever woman to be able to put so much doubt in my mind (from beyond the grave no less!).

It seems that when I read the comments from critics describing Ayn Rands positions, that I find they are very confused or purposely misleading.

@TheAmazingMorse Soviet Russia loved the people so much, that they cared for them, planned for their happiness from the central govt. Of course, some sacrifices needed to be made.....
