Allow Me to Introduce Myself

Let me guess, you’re also a man of wealth and taste?

Seriously, though, a lot of us are left-leaning, so expect a lot of debate. And dismissal of Rand’s talent as a novelist.

Why is Rand hated so much here?

I've never read any of her work, though I do own a copy of Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal. She seems to be quite reactionary; I think her views on capitalism come from having to live under the oppressive Soviet Union.

Welcome to the forums! You'll certainly see a very left-leaning crowd here, as Rev pointed out. Though, some of the people here are farther left than others, as you'll soon come to find out. Good luck with that.

Either way, happy to have another member... so welcome!

Thank you very much EgoDeath.  I understand that most atheists are coming from the left.  I kind of have an idea why that is.  I wouldn't say that I'm exactly from the right though, even though most here would probably see me as coming from the right.  I'm not a libertarian either.  A lot of people confuse Objectivists with Libertarians.  There is some superficial resemblance between L and O.  But the differences are pretty deep.
