      Rand’s political views, reflected in both her fiction and her theoretical work, emphasize individual rights (including property rights) and laissez-faire capitalism, enforced by constitutionally limited government. She was a fierce opponent of all forms of collectivism and statism,[5][6] including fascism, communism, and the welfare state.[7] She was also an atheist, and promoted ethical egoism (which she termed “rational self-interest”) while condemning altruism.[8]
      In late 1925, she was granted a visa to visit American relatives. She arrived in the United States in February 1926,[11] at the age of 21, entering by ship through New York City, which would ultimately become her home. After a brief stay with her relatives in Chicago, she resolved never to return to the Soviet Union, and set out for Hollywood to become a screenwriter. Already using Rand as a Cyrillic contraction of her surname, she adopted the name Ayn. Initially, she struggled in Hollywood and took odd jobs to pay her basic living expenses. A chance meeting with famed director Cecil B. DeMille led to a job as an extra in his film, The King of Kings, and to subsequent work as a script reader.[19] While working on The King of Kings, she intentionally bumped into an aspiring young actor, Frank O’Connor, who caught her eye. The two married on April 15, 1929, and remained married for fifty years, until O’Connor’s death. Rand became an American citizen in 1931. Taking various jobs during the 1930s to support her writing, for a time Rand worked as the head of the costume department at RKO Studios.
      Rand died of heart failure on March 6, 1982 at her 34th Street home in New York City,[57] years after having successfully battled cancer, and was interred in the Kensico Cemetery, Valhalla, New York. Rand’s funeral was attended by some of her prominent followers, including Alan Greenspan. David Kelley read her favorite poem Rudyard Kipling’s “If—”. A six-foot floral arrangement in the shape of a dollar sign was placed near her casket.[20]
      In her will, Rand named Leonard Peikoff the heir to her estate, and she had previously recognized his work as being the best exposition of her philosophy.

      I believe she is Jewish.

      How the hell does that matter?

      :arrow: TY

      No one said it mattered. Do you see some form of bigotry in the statement that she might have been Jewish?

    • Tim Roesch

      Yes, she is. She is knocking religion when it is used as a tool to unite a group of people so that they can justify annihilating another group.

      Faith is a personal matter.
      Faith in a mob has caused some of the most horrendous acts of cruelty and barbarity the world has known.

      That is why I do not directly believe the Bible was written about God but by Man as Godlike.

      Noah and the Ark for instance. Was that God a pissed off five year old denied a toy in the toy section of Walmart or an all knowing, all loving God?

      Religion is shared, certainly, but ‘In the Name of God’ should not be used as a justification of inhumanity. Faith without reason is horror. Imagine a shark with faith in God. The oceans would not be safe.

      The next time you think of a radical Islamist and their activities to date, think of the Inquisition. Evil requires nothing more for some people than mere justification and religious justification is handy, too handy.

      She is not merely knocking religion, she knocking religion being used as an excuse for collectivism in the name or under the guise of religion.

      Was Jim Jones a man of God or a suicidal collectivist masquerading as a priest?

      Think, people. Do you want to kill fundamentalist Jihadis or do you want to replace them with yourself?

    One question. “HUH?”

      Basically, so called intellectuals have proven themselves to be otherwise by buying into BS utopian ideas. What we need are men and women who use their brains when it comes to political ideas. That don’t follow their feelings and try to make the world a better place by turning it into a welfare state and trying to make everything “fair”. And in the process giving up their rights bit by bit.

    Ayn Rand is my personal hero. I recommend that everyone go to YouTube.com and look for the Mike Wallace interview she did, 1959 I believe was the year. She had released her Novel, “Atlas Shrugged”. The “intellectuals” of the time (liberals) absolutely hated her and had an active movement going to destroy her. The fact that most of them had never read any of her work didn’t bother them (remind you of liberals of today?) She didn’t like public speaking because of her accent but she wasn’t about to let these liberal fucks destroy her. She began giving interviews and lectures and taking on all comers. She would take any question the liberals could come up with and then calmly explain why they were wrong and where they went wrong in their reasoning and would tell them what to read or study to correct their thought process. This got to the point where so many people were asking her about her philosophy that she gave it a name (Objectivism) and began to teach it.Also, watch her biography in “Ayn Rand: A Sense of Life”

    I stole some of this from Wikipedia:

    Objectivism holds that the only social system which fully recognizes individual rights is Capitalism as Rand understood it, not the way we have it now:

    “When I say “capitalism”, I mean a full, pure, uncontrolled, unregulated laissez-faire capitalism…”

    Rand includes Socialism, Fascism, Communism, Nazism, and the Welfare State, as systems under which individual rights, including private property rights, are not legally protected. “To deny property rights means to turn men into property owned by the state. Whoever claims the ‘right’ to ‘redistribute’ the wealth produced by others is claiming the ‘right’ to treat human beings as chattel.”

    So we are not truly free in America anymore and we don’t live in a true capitalist state now since they take your house if you don’t pay property taxes, even if you have your mortgage paid off, the state will take away your car if you don’t pay for the taxes each year, they will put you in jail if you don’t pay your income taxes so someone else can live off the benefits of your labor!

    Far from regarding capitalism as a dog-eat-dog pattern of social organization, Objectivism regards it as a beneficent system in which the innovations of the most creative benefit everyone else in the society (although that is not its justification). Indeed, Objectivism values creative achievement itself and regards capitalism as the only kind of society in which it can flourish.

    She believed that mainstream conservatives of the time (and it still holds true today in the Republican party) did a piss poor job of explaining why personal liberty, true capitalism, individualism and fighting against collectivism is the true calling of mankind.

    But, I am not an atheist in the classical sense like she was. I am more of a agnostic (I believe there could be a God but it is beyond my capacity to prove one exists, therefore I don’t follow any religious doctrine that tries to limit my personal rights by telling me how to live and what is right and wrong. I can use my own mind to figure that out for myself.)

    Actually, here are the Mike Wallace interviews:

    It is interesting to note in Genesis that God asks for no physical share in the fruits of one’s labor. That doesn’t show up until later in the Bible.

    Apparently Adam did what he did for his own reasons or no reason at all.

    Maybe that’s why God had Eve give him the apple. Until Adam was kicked out of Eden, he wasn’t making choices.

    Capitalism is all about choice. The other ‘-isms’ are about someone else making choices for you.
