And you personally are giving how much of your earnings and resources to counter "selfishness and a lack of concern for other people."Rand did show a tiny spark of talent in Atlas Shrugged, but the author was crazy, narcissistic, and taking amphetamines. She had a traumatic childhood in Soviet Russia before she escaped to the United States. She wrote four novels and a handful of political screeds that encouraged selfishness and a lack of concern for other people.. Very shallow and immature.
Marx and Engels set out an economic theory, but the political implications of how the state allocates finite amounts of capital to do the most "good" and individual liberty are ... suspect.Nobody who takes Karl Marx seriously that is. Marx is even more juvenile and unreal fantasy, yet most of the Leftists see him and his work as their salvation.
That we know about.....nor is any imagined perpetual motion machine or free energy.
Wow, you really are fuckin' naive....Socialism makes certain that such devices, which would free the peasants, stay only in the hands of the party members.While there are corporations who would suppress anything that reduced their profit, the whole point is that socialism would prevent that.
Crony corportists aren't laissez-faire capitalists.It is the capitalists who are profit motivated and dangerous, not the representatives of a real republic.
Seeing as you just went 0-fer,you should probably withhold you opinions on Rand's.So Ayn Rand has it all completely backwards, where capitalist industry is the threat, and socialist industry provides for the people instead.
Another one that I kinda liked is Radio Free Albemuth, by Phillip K. Dick. It's sci-fi genre, but the political messaging is strong.The book is boring as fuck....Easily 300 pages too long.
Though I haven't seen the movie trilogy, it's likely more attention holding than that doorstop.

The movie stars Alanis Morisette as an anti-communist resistance fighter.
Oh look...our Russian sock puppet is defending communism nowBeing anti-communist is like being anti-family.
Humans naturally have always been communist.
Can you imagine any hunter/gatherer society that was not communist?
And you personally are giving how much of your earnings and resources to counter "selfishness and a lack of concern for other people."
BTW, taxes don't count here. What does is how much you give above and beyond such to charity or some other cause/concern that shows you aren't also "Very shallow and immature."

No, totally and completely inapplicable. All of the global oligarchs are on board with what is coming, it is a merger of state and corporate power. They plan to get rid of all small business and small farms.Never mind the board handle I've used on here for years. I've never even read the book or seen the movie, but I think I understand the significance of what the author meant to convey. The term "getting galted" is being used to describe what's taking place today: A refusal of the "providers" to furnish a globalist, collectivist, or Maxrist regime the materials it needs, "in an effort to "stop the motor of the world" and bring about the collapse of the bureaucratic society."

In other words, John Galt was the man who organized the withdrawal of all the men in society who have the money and who have the knowledge of how to run a successful business. Men who refused to cooperate with a collectivst form of government. This left only the inept government to keep the country’s economy going.
This seems to be what's occurring right now. It's no secret that the current crop of Democrats are the most left-leaning Marxists this country has ever seen. They are no friend of business, industry, and capitalism. They are enacting business-unfriendly regulations, harsh environmental policies, raising taxes, and apparently those corporations are pushing back. The pushback is being seen in shortages, high prices and disruptions in the supply lines which ultimately, President Biden will be held responsible for. This has led to a country run not as a Democracy but as an ineptocracy. That is defined as a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.
Apparently Rand predicted this, and President Trump understood this too. But this time, there are millions of John Galts.

Yeah, it was not real fun. . . but it sure as hell is good book for passing the time in an age before the internet and social media.The book is boring as fuck....Easily 300 pages too long.
Though I haven't seen the movie trilogy, it's likely more attention holding than that doorstop.
Like anyone has to defend "communism" the way all families live naturally.
No, totally and completely inapplicable. All of the global oligarchs are on board with what is coming, it is a merger of state and corporate power. They plan to get rid of all small business and small farms.
That book was written at a time when there was a real tension between capitalists and socialists. The whole reason and goal of the Royal Institution of International Affairs, and her sister organization in NY, the Council of Foreign Relations, and their other global think tanks, was to use the Hegelian Dialectic to merge the systems. With the founding of the Trilateral Commission in the Seventies, the Rockefeller's funded Brzeziński to rework that old Technocracy school out of Columbia.
Now? Now the MSM is completely controlled by global corporatism, the world over. There are really only two nations left on the Earth that are completely Communist, and who use command economies to steer the entire nation. Cuba and N. Korea.
All the others use State capitalism, or a dirigism model, much like Fascist Germany and Fascist Italy did. IOW, State Capitalism.
The global elites at the World Economic Forum, intend, to take the rest of the west, in that direction, by letting technocrats and AI control everything. This, "data driven," economics, they call, Stakeholder Capitalism, but folks that study it, and loath it, call it for what it really is, it is neither capitalism, nor socialism, it is. . .
TECHNOCRACY.

Last I read, in the bowels of the Biden regime, they are already making policy decisions based on a corporations ESG. . .
What small farm or small business can afford those types of regulations?

ESG monitoring is fast emerging as a fairly accurate determiner of corporate willingness to make progress towards social well-being, ecological adaptability, and sustainability.
My kid once asked me. . . ~ "has grandma always been like that?
I'm like. . . "like what?
He says ~ "Well, I owed her $15.37. So I gave her $15.00. And then she said. . . where's my 37 cents?
. .. " yes son, she has always been like that. She was one of those few people who was raised by a single mother during the Great Depression, her mother was like that with her.
SHE COUNTS EVERY PENNY.
That we know about.

Give me an example of something that the free market has indoctrinated folks into believing that is not true.Capitalism can indoctrinate people into believing things that are not true.
However there is small scale greed where the individual expects others to support them, and aside from that "profits" mean you reap rewards beyond your investments.I say it is capitalism because it based on greed and profits.
More like Atlas Shrugged plus 1984, and then leading up to The Book of Revelation.Never mind the board handle I've used on here for years. I've never even read the book or seen the movie, but I think I understand the significance of what the author meant to convey.
