>Ayn Rand literally wrote a book over this.

Ayn rand was over idealistic about the systems of capital management in her books. There was too clear a delineation between capitalism and communism.

In reality most economies are oligarchies. Like in the us it's not pure capitalism. There has never been a Henry Reardon. Mark zuckerberg, Bill gates, trump, come from a long lines of wealthy ancestors. These ancestors afford them capital and connections.

The greatest connections they have are in the government. Billy and marky visit congress all the time and ask for more h1b vistas.

I think any common man would be against undercutting the value of his own labor, but the common man is powerless.

Enter Bernie, who claims not to work.for his own self-interest. It's an amazingly strong message. Bernie wants to be empowered not to do favors for banks and the haves, he claims to espouse the plight of the common man.

This wouldnt be necessary If we had a democracy or true capitalism. We don't vote on policy the rich write policy. The rich write policy to benefit the rich. Ayn doesn't apply, because in her books capital and government were mutually exclusive and even at odds.

Did you think Anthem was just some sort of thought experiment?

Socialism has always been about erasing the Ego, the self-interest, and identity of the individual and replacing it with the artificial nebula of "society's us"

Ayn saw this all, and tried to warn us, but normie faggots just casually dismissed her to the point where these same faggots (who are all NEETs and have never accomplished anything) use this brilliant woman's name as a punchline as if it should be taken for granted that she was just categorically wrong.
>>
>>67776178
>Democracy and freedom are incompatible

In Atlas shrugged, the government is portrayed as antagonizing the self-made steel magnate Henry Reardon. This has never been the case in the US. If anything the US goes to great lengths to appease industrialists.

In the US when the banks fail they get bailed out, while the people who have lost everything get nothing. This would never happen in Atlas shrugged, because Ayn rand portrayed the government as robin hood. Robbing hood didn't donate to the wealthy and ignore the poor.

Not entirely true. The most prominent example that springs to mind is John Rockefeller, whose father was a snakeoil salesman. Yet, he revolutionized the way we produce and transport oil, and in doing so he completely changed the face of the earth.

>>67775931

For these cucks, it's what Bernie stands for, not anything specific he's spewed.

They want Bernie because they've been tricked into believing we're on the cusp of some communist revolution where everyone will be treated equally, everyone will be rich, everyone will be taken care of and educated for free.

History repeats itself.

Ayn Rand shouldn't be glorified for any of the pseudo-intellectual bullshit she hacked out. She embodied ALL of the evils she wrote about, being a parasite herself that pandered to rich friends for support and spending her last years on government support.

She was a Russian Jew. Seriously, how could anyone take her seriously.

Now ask your self. How did the government antagonize him and seek to redistribute his wealth. The answer is they didn't. If anything they loaned him tons of money and let him legislate by proxy.

>There has never been a Hank Rearden

wew lad.

There are literally endless examples:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Ford#Early_life
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malcom_McLean
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Franklin
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_D._Rockefeller

Secondly your premise of what it means to be a free individual who creates his own wealth is flawed if it dismisses those who inherit any wealth outright. Francisco D'Anconia is Ayn Rand's premier example: a man who inherited a vast fortune, but was exceptional in his own right. Francisco's "Money Speech" explains how in a free market a spendthrift who inherits wealth will lose his fortune, and the exceptional man will simply multiply it. Trump is a great example of this, having turned the 100 million he inherited from his father's small fortune into the 10 billion he now owns. The Koch brothers have done much the same.

Old hat argument that because she accepted Social Security, which she payed into, she cannot rationally argue against welfare. If you accepted the return of one of your two stolen bikes would it be inconsistent for you to argue against theft?

Complete ad hominem argument with no merit.

If you disagree with her (which is totally fine) then please do so on some merit or argument, rather than acting like you are superior to an obviously brilliant woman who accomplished quite a lot.

Rand basically wrote a book on the normies' level that outlined what she learned from her time in Russia vs the US.

She wrote with people like Ford, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Tesla, and her father as inspiration.

Bernie's goals stretch to consolidate all power into one welfare state, independent of corporate influence, which sounds noble but is really just shifting control from one set of assholes to another.

Capital and government are still and always have been at odds. It's just a matter of how many double agents there are and how easy it is for them to function.

Don't forget the best one guys, Andrew Carnegie, born in Scotland in the 1830s, his very poor parents moved to us in 48, by 1860 he was in railroad investing and by 1900 was the head of the largest steel company in the world.

From the very little I remember about that book, its the closet you get to reardon, though carnegie wasn't an ass

But here is the magic part your fail to see. The group of assholes Bernie wants empowered is 99% of the populace, and the part that's empowered now is the tiniest of minorities.

We already live in a welfare state. The government covered speculators who lose money in the stock market. The government bails out banks that fail. It allows people who are millions of dollars in debt to declare bankruptcy and basically get out of paying their debts. Lastly, the government actually listened to the rich. Big business owners are always speaking infront of congress for their gibs me dat and they usually get it.
