Well, you are incorrect in her biography, (for example, she was raised in Czarist Russia) but my point still stands. Ayn Rand's politics is just a logical consequence of her moral advocacy of selfishness. She was against communism before she even saw the results--she was against communism when she heard their slogans that you should live for another man.

Objectivism isn't reactionary--it isn't anti-communist. It is pro-capitalism because the philosophy believes capitalism is the only system which allows men to fully pursue their own self-interest, which is the moral purpose of a man's life.

@windycityrodeo the men who destroyed the gulf didn't care about their work, or their product. they had no incentive to do their job properly because if anything went wrong; they knew they'd be bailed out. now, with a deregulated system, where the best man with the best technique prevails-- BP wouldve been out of business the day the well broke because the consumer who has individual rights to decide on what they want to buy, wouldnt choose a sloppy, corrupt corporation.

It is so shitty he can't run for president :(

"Tea Party" is a Big Lie. It's not the simple 1700s. We now have millions of life-saving water-food-air-safety, police, military, etc. provided by "big government'"(We the People). During the real Tea Party there wre no freeways, bridges nor school that allowed real tax-paying patriots to work & contribute to the superior progress this nation has. I've never whined about paying taxes as without regulations many of us wouldn't be here. Due to Cheney's deregulations the Gulf is an oil pool."

1-There are plenty of irrational humans who would be very happy to sell poison as food, and put you out of business while they are at it.

2-I don't need the government to tell me not to eat poison either, but the government does help find out what food is poison. I mean I could wait until my neighbors die of food poisoning and hope that I don't happen to get food from the same establishment, but that seems a little reactionary to me.

Yes, we form governments to protect individual rights.

No rational human being would offer injurious products. I as a business owner would not prosper if I was derelict or produced deleterious commodities. Therefore, I would not do it.

I don't know about you, but I don't need a government to tell me not to eat poisonous foods.

[killerbandit]

There is a reason why the people have formed a government.

It is us organizing against powers that would if they could do anything to us in order to make money and improve their own standard of life at the sacrifice of ours.

The government 'impinges' our right to produce food that is poisonous, or to burn something that will poison our air. The government provides the framework for our economy. Free markets are a delusion.

[XxxNuMbxxX0301]

Ludwig Von Mises once wrote that you do not have to necessarily be a socialist/communist in order to aid it. As long as you believe that the government has the right to intervene in the economy and impinge one individual freedom--to whatever extent--you are abetting statism.

[killerbandit]

No, she was against communism when her father had his farm taken from him. Which, FYI, liberals are also against. Communism failed as it was a utopian ideology. That does not mean people organizing their communities in part through their government is 100% wrong.
