Message Subject NEWSFLASH: Ayn Rand was Right!! >>> Ayn Rand & The Prophecy of Atlas Shrugged
Poster Handle Anonymous Coward
Post Content
what most people tend to forget about the storyline in Atlas Shrugged, is this: at the end, there conveniently was a 'free power' device in the enclave of entrepreneurial outcasts - whose development and realisation apparently has been hidden from, and denied to, the general public. way to go, if you want to improve the world.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 33568463


The reason this free energy device was kept from the public is because you know it would have been exploited or shunned. Simply look at what happened to Nikola Tesla. I'm sure Galt would love to have shared it with the world, but we all know nothing can be free in this world. Thanks to capitalists.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 2566322


There's nothing wrong with capitalists. Again, the problem isn't with capitalism. What's wrong with making money? Nothing! Value is produced and a person gets paid something in equal value for it.

Much of the TYPE of capitalism that IS the problem in the US isn't straight capitalism, it's corrupt CRONY capitalism a.k.a. the military-industrial complex. That should be the enemy -- not capitalism itself. If you think so, you should throw away your computer because it was built by a company that believes in capitalism.

Somebody get me out of this Marxist/socialist nightmare we call the USA, please! It's stupid and insane!

Tonight I began making plans for leaving the US. Never thought I would do it, but I don't recognize this country anymore. It is becoming the Soviet Union. It is no longer the land of the free or the home of the brave. It's been taken over by wolves in sheep's clothing.
