>muh jew
She left her parents behind and came to the US on her own. She hates collectivism, so she rejected jewish blueprints for society. If anyting people rejecting rand are the real kikes and lefties. She predicted so fucking much its not even funny. The more time goes on the more she is proven right. Collectivists hate that shit with an endless passion.
What she said even explains why video games turned to shit.
How can one jew be so fucking based, let alone a woman. Bitch is off the charts.

And yes fountainhead is the better novel but both books are awesome. I dont agree with her on architecture but maybe in the time she wrote it, that stuff made more sense.
Overall I think she is 80% right about absolutely everything and of you dont like her you are just outing yourself as a complete faggot.
>>
>>25127600
There is truth to this although I am less a fan than you are. She absolutely nailed collectivists and accurately predicted, for example, the collapse of Detroit while it was still the richest city in the world. She was right about so much, which is why people hate her so much.

Stirner believes Individualism is not about private property rights, minarchism or being greedy. Also Rand's fixed idea of truth and rationality is spooked beyond belief according to his framework.
"Driven by the thirst for money, the greedy person denies all warnings of the conscience, all feelings of honor, all gentleness and all compassion: he puts every consideration out of sight: the desire carries him away."
On the other hand, Rand views Stirner as anti-philosophical

Redditors do hate Rand A LOT. They consider her one of the worst philosophers of all times.
>as moral philosophy, Rand's views seem rather unsophisticated—like a bright-but-cocky undergraduate who's taken one philosophy course (or maybe just the first week of a philosophy course) and decides that they're ready to write up their theory of everything, and that there's no point in doing any further reading because they've already solved it all.

>Mostly, her view feels like a fallacy of the excluded middle: one can't just wave away the ethical traditions of Hobbes, Kant, Hare, etc., and pretend that Egoism is the only viable "objective" alternative to authority-based ethics. (I also find her responses to criticisms of Egoism—e.g., asserting without evidence that parasitism never works out well for the parasite—to be deeply unpersuasive. Just as she can't be bothered to study existing ideas, she also can't be bothered to seriously engage with objections to her own.)

>Furthermore, even if we accept that Nihilism, superstition, and Egoism are the only three options, and that Egoism is the best of those three, she's still just retreading ground that Nietzsche has already explored better.

After Lex Luthor recommended an Ayn Ramd book to Clark in Smallville, I read Atlus Shrugged
I thought it was a comedy.
The 60 page John Galt speech is kino
I think the prime movers are the ones who are competent and can do the work though. There's a crises of competency.

I think a lot of people dismiss the book without reading it at all.
>>
>>25127516
stirner's egoism is based in hegelianism which is based in the second critique. ayn rand thought kant was "the most evil man in history" bc she did not understand critical idealism and saw hegel (and therefore kant) as responsible for communism
>>
>>25127929
I don't know, I thought the opposite of it, the speech was the worst part of the book. It could be something like 3 pages maximum. There was always this feeling that if Ray Bradbury wrote her books, they would be way better, and the movies would be better too, I've checked them out and they fucking suck. That book screams art deco vibes.
>>
Thoroughly mediocre. Not worth the hate or love it gets from either side.

>>25127943
i suspect those of us who hate it barbrady'd ourselves

>>25127929
A lot of people dismiss most books without reading them. And even if a person dies read a book, their opinions will be affected already if they have been fed context elsewhere.
>>
>>25127600
She writes such ugly prose you should be embarassed to like this
>>
>>25127943

decent take though I feel it would be a much better book if it were half the length and rand didn’t ramble on in circles and beat the reader over the head to the tune of 800+ pages and if she would’ve talked about trains the railroad and railroading more

And at the end of her life she applied for social welfare.
Say "thank you, state" for taking care of old ladies without means to support themselves.

>>25128003
social security is taken out of americans pay. asking for the money the government took from you over your working life isn't "applying for social welfare". leftists always lie.
