Ok, you had me at Dead Kennedys and their song Nazi Punks Fuck Off. Then I read the piece only to find Dead Kennedys weren't in it. Then I felt sad and stuff. But it was still interesting and salty so I'm subscribing nonetheless. But you should totally write about Dead Kennedys at some point. Jello Biafra had a lot to say about this sort of stuff. Ok, even as I write this comment I recognise that I should probably just write something about Dead Kennedys and not leave random comments telling people they should write something that I secretly want to write. I'll see myself out. All the best, J
Ayn Rand was not a philosopher. She was the daughter of comfortable middle class Russian parents whose store was confiscated by the Bolsheviks during the Russian Revolution and who subsequently emigrated. If you've read Kant and then read Rand, I'm sure you noticed a stark difference between the two.
She was bitter, and if she wasn't already she became a pure sociopath, which explains why she admired them so much. Her "philosophy" was widely spread because capitalists, who usually have sociopathic tendencies because capitalism rewards such behavior, found it a useful foil against socialism.
Never mind Rand herself was on government assistance for most of her life, and took what she could from everyone who came near her. Her biography isn't pretty.
Everyone knows welfare queens have the true innate psychology of a Superman. Other people do not exist for them. Everyone knows there is nothing more redolent of altruism than going to work and producing something for other people instead of taking money from the government and giving nothing in return.
