Silverado Posted April 27, 2020 Report Posted April 27, 2020 Just now, TrollBait said: Ayn Rand is full of bad ideas, and silly social commentary just like RGV. and its bad that enough people in power took her seriously in the US. RGV is too shy to hog the spotlight for that long. so he's relatively harmless. What like anti-family,free culture?? Or something else like capitalism without morals Quote
TrollBait Posted April 27, 2020 Report Posted April 27, 2020 1 minute ago, Silverado said: What like anti-family,free culture?? Or something else like capitalism without morals no. she starts off with 'every man is an island'. and that exchanges with other men in the society should be on a mutual basis, and not through coercion. so far so good. I agree with it. then she tries to apply this to coin a new philosophy called 'objectivism', which she doesn't have the smarts to explain without sufficiently smoothing out the obvious inconsistencies. Objectivism naively states that truth is immutable and can't be polluted through opinions. There are several problems with this. for another thread someday. This is not considered as a school of philosophy by any philosophers by the way. but I don't think any of her bhakts read as far enough into her philosophy. They mostly stop at her last 1400 page borefest novel 'atlas shrugged', where she creates a new world for the productive people in society and moves them all to that place. and then the rest of the society will struggle without them, and plead them to come back. --------- she is for capitalism, but she doesn't understand how it works. your own Hindutva movement is full of Ayn Rand bhakts. I know because until 2009, I was Hindutva too. Quote

TrollBait Posted April 27, 2020 Report Posted April 27, 2020 27 minutes ago, Silverado said: What like anti-family,free culture?? Or something else like capitalism without morals Ayn Rand is dangerous because she gave the right words to the dumbfcuks to justify their plunder of society. earlier, these dumbfcuks used to rely on brute force, or through cunning to enact legislations.. but now, they have material that they can do propaganda with. written in simple english that even a teen can understand. They have managed to brainwash a huge army of people and Ayn Rand gave them the material to do so. In short, they have managed to convince people (some of them) to vote against their own interests, by telling them that they are useless and lazy and slackers etc. Ayn Rand is the hero behind this awesome political development.

Or something else like capitalism without morals ofcourse, there are much more dangerous ideas than what Ayn Rand has propagated, but they remain inaccessible to common man's understanding. and have not yet been politically used to take power anywhere.

TrollBait Posted April 27, 2020 Report Posted April 27, 2020 Ayn Rand has cheapened public discourse.. so has RGV. ofcourse it was much worse before these two were influential in public domain. so may be its natural for right wingers to scurry around to find some 3rd rate author to defend their bullshit, rather than having a public debate around material conditions.

He was proved right by 1920s itself. Capitalism didnt work, and what we have now is not capitalism. Ayn Rand is just a bitter b1tch with nothing interesting to say. and to right wingers this is enough to scuttle any conversation. because they don't have to present an alternative idea, just keep claiming that any idea besides theirs is unworkable.

TrollBait Posted April 27, 2020 Report Posted April 27, 2020 okay.. haha.. may schopenhauer, adam smith etc are more influential on the right in policy circles. but on rhetorical side, Ayn Rand provides the largest ammunition to them. Quote

TrollBait Posted April 27, 2020 Report Posted April 27, 2020 No wonder Ayn Rand bhakts became Hindutva bhakts.sh1t attracts sh1t. Quote
