Re: Ayn Rand thinks Similarly to Sklansky?
[ QUOTE ]
Yeah, we should invade the middle east to secure oil concessions. Sounds like small government to me! [/ QUOTE ] You missed her point. Donahue asked how we would go about getting oil if it weren't for the state, and she responded by reminding him that it was the state itself (through "altruism") that created the problem by making a bad contract.

Re: Ayn Rand thinks Similarly to Sklansky?
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Ayn Rand is a female. [/ QUOTE ] I think this is as open to debate as any of her philosophical claims. [/ QUOTE ] Not sure how long you have been around here on SMP, Alaw; but dang, welcome to the forum. What a grand entrance. NH. [/ QUOTE ] Heh, thanks.

[/ QUOTE ] nonono dude. it's YOU that missed HER point. Her position is that any capitalist nation has the right to invade any noncapitalist nation. Greater freedom through imperialism. Weeeee! She's not a philosopher. She's a trashy hack apologist for the worst excesses of united states imperialism. This is the stuff of press secretaries, not philosophers. Also, "objectivism" is just pure branding. There's nothing unique or interesting in any of her "philosophy"

Re: Ayn Rand thinks Similarly to Sklansky?
I don't even know how this conversation could be more ridiculous, though I am open to suggestions and I'm sure I'll see examples soon enough.
What does any of it have to do with the original topic? Follow [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Ayn Rand thinks Similarly to Sklansky?
It's funny how people who could never possibly amount to anything near who Ayn Rand was insult her on internet forums all day long. Her novels, written years ago, will continue to out sell anything you could ever write.
