Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism

[Mister Agenda]

Can't say I agree with you.  In fact, fuck her and fuck her philosophy.  It's nothing but a justification for her own selfishness and greed.

We're all stuck on this big, blue marble together, and the world would be a much more pleasant place to live if we could all learn to help each other out instead of simply focusing on our own needs and desires.  It's precisely because of the selfishness Rand advocates that the world can be such a shitty place to live, and I cannot and will not condone such an attitude.

Or it could have been a reaction to the communist takeover of her homeland and the Bolsheviks confiscating her father's business. An antipathy to communism led her to formulate a philosophy that is arguably the opposite.

We can't learn to help each other if we're convinced that people who don't agree with us are motivated by moustache-twirling villainy.
