Folks, read works of Ayn Rand and a lot of your confusion in life, politics
and economics will go away. You probably heard of Atlas Shrugged, but that's
not enough.
She is the founder of philosophy of Objectivism. The fundamentals of her
philosophy are set forth in such nonfiction books as:
For the New Intelectual, The virtue of Selfishness, Capitalism: The Unknown
Ideal., and Romantic Manifesto. Also read the following: Introduction to
Objectivist Epistemology, edited by Harry Bibswanger and leonard Peikoff.
This will open your eyes on a lot of things.

And after Ayn, there's L. Ron Hubberd, Jim Jones, and David Koresh.

That would be a feat, given Rand's total muddle-headedness on each of
the topics. Like Marxism, Libertarianism is an excellent example of
"nice idea, wrong species".
>You probably heard of Atlas Shrugged,
A political polemic in the form of an excruciatingly long and poorly
written novel. One of those books about which it can be said that "it
does not permit itself to be read".

Which carries as much weight around alt.atheism as being the founder
of Scientology.

Ayn Rand was so scared of communism that she went to the other extreme
of fascism/corporatism. Rand was a nutcase.

Only if you give in to the urge to slash your throat afterward, rather
than giving it a few months to lessen.

One would do far, far better to read Robert Anton Wilson. Start with the
Illuminatus! trilogy, go on to his other fiction and non-fiction, and
follow up on the leads to other writers in his works.

Hmm... and what exactly did you read to come up with the conclusion. Care to
comment on examples of muddle-headedness?
Libertarianism has little to do with Objectivism, btw.
