Use the term you want... It doesn't matter, you're in favor of government controling your and other people's lives: This is SOCIALISM. As Ayn Rand said: "Communism seeks to enslave men through force, Socialism seeks the same thing through vote." Therefore, their goal and final result are the same. This is what matters.
...was an idiot. Have you actually read her books? I have, cover to cover. She was a pseudo-intellectual for the intellectually lazy. Make yourself at home.
No... This is a mere response to your obsession in making personal attacks/references, due to your lack of arguments based on logic and facts. Stop doing it and I'll stop saying it. As to the video: WTF? That is exactly the point... Flawless thinking from Friedman. But again... There's that "speed issue" going on with you apparently... As the logic in the video shows: YES.
Again with the personal attacks for lack of arguments? No point in discussing with people who insist on doing that... Waste of my time... I hope you some day become a person who is able to sustain what you say through LOGIC, REASON and FACTS... But I realize it is very unlikely... Oh well... Life goes on... I'm done with you. Bye.
I don't know. Didn't Dagny leave him for John Galt? Oh, wait. Wrong book. (In my defense, they're all the same diatribe.)
He's the architect who rapes the heroine in Fountainhead (I still don't get how Ayn Rand justified that). Anthem was a fun book. Especially as I was entering my "Rush" phase.
I didn't read Anthem, but I did read Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead. The diatribes that pass for dialogue are interchangeable.
Anthem was much shorter and more science-fiction-y. I was a wanna be philosopher in highschool. I read a lot of her non-fiction essays as well and I agree with you.
