It is amazing how you people on this platform don't like atlas shrugged not knowing anything about it at all.

Right wing nut jobs highjacked the book thinking it's pro capitalism when it isn't. Seriously read the damned book! You'll be surprised.

    I did, and its such an absurdly bad book that if Rand didn't take so long to get to the point, it would be an effective satire of what libertarians actually believe.

    right wing nutjobs like it because it caricaturizes communism and socialism as people on top jealous of genius businesspeople who earned every penny through nothing but their own merit only for these pesky government people to steal their success. which is like a baby's understanding of nationalization, if that baby is repeatedly hit on the head.

    If that's the take away they got from the book then god help us all because they're idiots.

    The book doesn't demonize communism nor does it idealize entrepreneurs.

    In fact the variable hidden Utopia the intellectual elite made to hide themselves in the world was a perfect example of Communism in and of itself.

    And a variable waste land they left behind was a perfect example of capitalism run rampant.
