Wait, the average American cares what a Marxist/Communist/Socialist supporter like Ayn Rand says about ANYTHING, why?

Ayn Rand a Communist?

That's a new claim. I found her home-brew philosophy, Objectivism, unworkable on several levels - one of which we're seeing now. Free Markets without a moral anchor, lead us to Vulture Capitalism; and that is exactly what is killing us, now. Heads of industry, bankrupt of morality, and instead, claiming moral virtue through the teachings of Thomas Malthus, Klaus Schwab, and the Club of Rome. Oh, and enlightened by the miracle of MMT, courtesy of "professor" Stephanie Kelton. Money-printing gone mad.

Which works if you get first dibs on the seigniorage - the freshly-printed Fake Money.

But this was in the future. She opposed collectivism at all levels, not realizing that her moral-relativity would lead others around a circle right into totalitarianism, where power would be its own objective and the way to sell it was through the false-promises of collectivism, to the sheeple.

But her work was intended to WARN about communism, not promote it. She just dropped the ball - she did more than most people, but she had no guidance and history had no experience to warn her.
