God I love Rand's logic. Why do war and genocide exist?

Because people aren't selfish enough!

*cough*

Maybe I live in a different world but ahh... when was the last time anyone you knew needed any help being MORE selfish? It's called human nature.

More crap promising answers in a neat little box. Capitalism in America isn't working so what do we need? More capitalism and more selfishness. It's sad to me that people are so desperate for answers that they will still ingest this doggerel.

@Adeikov lol yea ok.. good luck with that.. smoke sum more dope..

@Adeikov and there is a certain science to "astrology". not the kind advertised by gypsies or basement dwelling hippy, or a mongrel in a cave or personalities seen on tv etc. some of the nazi's were studying the "occult", which is more of a science than it is a religion.

@Adeikov lol. yes it makes me feel better. "they say he was into mysticism".. who is "they"? most of the literature and "history" written of hitler is largely propaganda. if he would have won the war, he would be written of in a positive light. and also hitler would have won had america not interfered. the commies (russia, america and the brits) vs germany. germany was vastly outnumbered by the parasites.

[Adeikov]

@iTROLL9000 If laissez faire capital comes about, then to ward of plutocratic elitism, I will build sustable communes as protection against greed and exploitation, I will build a system of syndicates between the communes; and capitalism will die. I know how to kill capitalism.

[Adeikov]

@iTROLL9000 Hilter was into mysticism, they say. Some of his war strategy, which battles to pick, was based on astrology.

[Adeikov]

@iTROLL9000 It make you feel better to think I am stupid: cognitive dissonance.

[iTROLL9000]

and yes, hitler talked to his soldiers of "altruism", although it translates different than your meaning of altruism. he was addressing the soldiers, not civilians. join americas army and u will see an even worse form of altruism, and with low intelligence monkeys grunting orders to more intelligent lower ranking white men. military law is different from civilian law. if it wasnt we would have mercenaries, free market profit driven soldiers, like blackwater spec ops and body guards.

[iTROLL9000]

hitler's main ideal was to finally restore free market for a white society (whites (some) are the only ones smart enough to even comprehend what "john galt" is). henry ford, kennedy, general patton, prince edward, etc.. ALL supported what hitler was doing, the only ones that opposed him were the commies.

[iTROLL9000]

and i think it was pretty stupid to include clips of hitler in your videos, as he was the only leader that opposed communism in the world. maybe u should do some research outside of what u learned in college, or from the mainstream media. in a few short years hitler raised germany up from having worthless currency, to being the worlds greatest power (it took russia, usa, and the brits, etc) to ruin germany.
