So why do you guys hate Ayn Rand?
She seems pretty based and was despooked concerning the ideas of rights, religion, race, borders and concepts like 'duty' and 'obligation'. Above all she promotes the idea of the self, the ego, the individual, which is something Stirner also talked abouy.
She's ultra spooked on property and money.
Try again
Are you even serious? The only reason anyone can sympathize with her is purely ideological one. And her ideology, and the only reason of her prominence, is anticommunism.
she was a moralist
No she was not.
Objectivism and Egoism are ideologies and thus crap.
No, she thinks that property rights are inherent to the human experience and as such cannot be ``violated´´ (I'm using it on her own terms, but the fact is that it is the parasites who abuse the notion of such abstract thoughts through instituted violence while sitting on the unearned capital). A 101 anthropology class should leave her arguments destroyed and utterly anally prolapsed.
...
She's the prophet of capital. She elevates captains of industry to titanic levels of near god-like perfection who merely tolerate the existence of the puny lesser, who ebbs on their excellence. Society functions only because they allow it, and even if she may be correct in the sense these men control all levers of power, she deems this to be good and right, not to be horrifying.
She's a discount Stirner for lolberts
What did she mean by this?
Sounds like something your average Democratic Cops of America member would say tbh.
Why are posting a picture of a notorious ideologue?
Ayn Rand: when shareholders do it, it's ego. when workers do it, it's totalitarianism
"The necessary consequence of man's right to life is his right to self-defense. In a civilized society, force may be used only in retaliation and only against those who initiate its use. All the reasons which make the initiation of force an evil, make the retaliatory use of physical force a moral imperative."—Ayn Rand, Virtue of Selfishness (emphasis mine)
"Racism is the lowest, most crudely primitive form of collectivism"—Ayn Rand, Virtue of Selfishness
BUT THEN…
"Any white person who brought the element of civilization had the right to take over this continent"—Ayn Rand, 1974 West Point lecture
this would apply but Ayn Rand would probably say the same thing about Japanese people as well. she's just a social darwinist in general, not really the same kind of racism you'd find on Holla Forums who thinks the holiest nigger is worse than the most destructive white person.
Even by lolbert standards this is a retarded thing to say
Ayn Rand was a social darwinist, not a blue eye worshipping nazi.
And to be fair, Marx and Engels also viewed the conquest of American west and the war for Mexican terrotories as a good thing in the context of historical materialism.
meant for
but yeah, I agree with this also
Stirner is actually well-known and referenced by libertarians but decontextualized. Anarchy in anglo-saxon countries is defined as Anarchocapitalism.
there's your problem fam
She literally called her political opponents "evil". Pretty spooked famalam. Also your second pic shows pretty clearly why she isn't despooked about rights.
...
Ayn Rand is a fucking poundshop social darwinist (bastardisation of darwin) kiddie tier fan fic writer.
any social democratic person who brought the element of civilization had the right to tax ancaps tbh.
time to change that
what's the difference, same shit tbh
She's not an egoist, she wanted to write a morality of capitalism.
