Bitterly Clinging to my AK47 and Das Kapital

The creation of Ayn Rand represents the Soviet Union's greatest crime and for that they deserve to be wiped off the map with a nuclear moist towelette.

Or

The Soviet Union created the perfect embodiment of capitalism and launched it at its greatest enemy like some kind of biological kindness destroying weapon that seems to be working.

"Ah," Ratz had said, at last, "the artiste."
i thought it was funny that even in her own book she made the non-geniuses who actually befriend the genius capitalists (dagny's assistant, that evil guy's wife, etc) die off for not being smart enough and none of the heroes give two shits

like i know you have to be basically retarded to be a libertarian but even in the book written by ayn rand for libertarians to jerk off to if you're not one of the ten smartest people in the world you're probably going to die and you completely deserve it, even if you agree with her

i also enjoyed the fact that every good/smart person is a statuesque aryan ubermensch and every bad person is an ugly bloated monster when she herself appears to some kind of goblin :raise:

i read atlas shrugged cover to cover once because cmon, its a major work regardless of anyones opinion, and i found it tedious and very railroadish pardon the pun

neuromancer makes a much better case for capitalism imo

fun story the university i went to got a big donation from an insurance company with the stipulation that theyd teach a class with atlas shrugged as the primary text

in reality it was mainly about ethics and different kinds of externalities. it was cool

No one who has graduated high school can truly appreciate Ayn Rand's books.

Best thing about Neuromancer is that you can read it on google books but not all at once.
