Obscure Ayn Rand Novel To Be Released

[abaris]

But from what I've gathered, she attempts to show that the individual should never be held back, no matter what the cost. It seems she tries to say that if you have the skills and ability to accomplish something, how it affects others should not come into consideration. She advocates that the goals of the individual trump that of society.

Apparently, she was extremely affected by living under a socialist regime(Stalin?), and it's almost as if her reaction was to go to the extreme on the other end of the spectrum.

She left way before Stalin, but Lenin's first years haven't been a bundle of joy either.

From what I gather, she's as flexible as the bible when it comes to cherry picking her quotes. She's promoting reason and individuality, but also says outrageous things about fellow human beings. There's an appropriate quote for nearly everything in life, but what's most obvious is the fact that she considers every people not living under the same standards as the US savages. Like in the post I wrote on the previous page, where she outright denies native Americans their rights.

The larger problem lies in her followers, since they openly call for laissez faire capitalism without any regulations. And that means privatising social necessities like the police and the fire department too.

I'v also read the books of Terry Goodkind, who is an outspoken follower of Objectivism. On the outside these books are fantasy, but as he gets further into his series, they turn into objectivist manifestos with very questionable views.
