The most intelligent woman who ever had and will live, and the absolute ONLY woman (and Jew) whom I genuinely respect and give gratitude to.
She was (and still is) one of the very few people on Earth who understood the danger and destructive power of Human Subjectivity (Exibit A: Socialism).
We as a people have collectively learned nothing from Rome or the Soviet Union. Now, more so than ever, we value "security", luxury, and tingles in the brain instead of Human Freedom and Individuality. This will prove to be our undoing.
Both Marx and Hitler were fucking retards compared to this magnificent woman.
Ayn Rand was a hypocrite and died collecting the government dole after her book royalties weren't paying the bills caused by her shitty lifestyle choices.

Hoppe is alot better, hell even in academic terms Ron and Rand Paul are better
I love Ayn Rand, I don't get why she disliked religion, though. I don't feel like Christians are devaluing themselves or destroying their own self-esteem. In fact, the exact opposite seems to be true, the Abrahamic religions appear to create the most confident people in my experience.
Hey (((John Galt))), you should get on a train and go live in Montana and see how many people give a shit (protip: none) and how much your removal from the economy affects it (protip: not one bit).
Ayn Rand was a Russian psyop who showed up in DC penniless with three finished shitty manuscripts and somehow was moving in DC social circles within a few months.

Because she was a Russian psyop and the Russians wanted to undermine American Christianity in order to undermine the capitalist economy, which is based on widespread trust and goodwill.

She was an autistic sexual deviant. Also, unlimited freedom is gay.

Agreed.

Ann Rand is a horrible person who has inspired many Neo-liberals and Neo-conservatives alike to commit heinous crimes all in the name of "individualism"

Yes, goy, radical individualism is the only way forward. Collective action on behalf of your own race is sinful, unless you are a jew, because we are allowed.

"The Collective" was Rand's private name[1] for a group of close confidants, students, and proponents of Rand and Objectivism during the 1950s and 1960s. The founding members of the group were Nathaniel Branden, Barbara Branden, Leonard Peikoff, Alan Greenspan, Joan Kennedy Taylor, Allan Blumenthal, Harry Kalberman, Elayne Kalberman, Joan Mitchell, and Mary Ann Sures (formerly Rukavina).[2]
I dunno, I think she had no problem taking money back from a system you paid into. She wrote about a character named Ragnar who took the time to calculate how much the federal government had "stolen" from people via taxes, and sought to rob the government of those exact amounts. Or rather, he just robbed the government, and gave the deserved portions back to some people. Like Robin Hood, but stealing from the poor to give to the rich. If you actually read her book, you'd find funnier things to say about her.
You might be pushing a little hard. She shines as a philosopher, and I love the speeches she wrote about the Root of Money, the importance of brains in making value and the consequences of collectivism.
What I dislike is that she put it in a "okay" book that takes upward to 60 hours to read, with degenerate hypergamic romance / sex scenes and a climax that destroyed all suspension of disbelief.

I'm 9 on this chart, except for male homosexuality and male childlessness. We evolved polygamous. That means a few chicks for a guy. A gay or otherwise unmarried uncle means more resources for one kid, giving an edge.
All of this, of course, could be detrimental to a monogamous society, which brings better results to the individual and to its own continuation. But having a percentage of your males and female not breeding cleanse the gene pool without violence.
This is patently false. She died with millions in the bank. Even her heir is a millionaire because of her.
She collected her money because it was always hers.

>Ron and Rand Paul are better
Thanks for the for the keks

People often overlook the part about objectivism valuing an objective reality wherein something can't be said to exist unless it can be observed and God can't be observed in any way. Also, Christianity places others above the self which Ayn found immoral. If you love everyone, you love no one.
"I agree with you it [love] should be treated like a business deal, but every business has to have it's own terms and it's own kind of currency and in love the currency is virtue." -Ayn Rand being interviewed by Mike Wallace February 25, 1959

>Human Freedom and Individuality are the highest values >Therefore the best possible system is the one that better destroys human freedom and individuality Wow so this is the power of intelligence
