Simplified, Rand used Evangelical ideology to promote neoliberalism. And yes, it is like today, not that she was a visionary, but a promoter of it.
Thesis + Antithesis equals Synthesis.

KB – the Hegelian Dialectic. I get it. But I don’t see how it applies to Ayn Rand, per se? She was a refugee of tolitarian socialism. She lived it and was brave enough to call a spade a spade, to espouse a different way in eloquent manners. Again, I hear you. But I think she may deserve just a little bit more respect then what you are willing to give to her? No biggie! God said $ is the root of evil. But also $ is the answer 2 all thing

Maggie – the actual quote in correct interpretation – is : $ is the root of all kinds of evil.”. But then other parts of the Bible state that $ is the answer to all things. After all, we spend $ to eat & heat our homes (even while we sleep).

Wow, all kinds of shit being thrown around here! Did I hear some jesus freak disparage Ayn Rand? If you let go of your savior on a stick for just a sec I’ll tell you all about Ayn. She was a good writer, not great, but good and she knew how to spin a novel. I’ve read everything she wrote years ago and If I read any of her stuff again it’s definitely Atlas Shrugged. Her logic led her to write about the end result of the evil trends she witnessed happening in the 50’s, and she was dead on.
Of course, she was a hateful bitch in real life with a penchant for odd sexual arrangements, plus she was married to a beta male who was the diametric opposite of the hero males in her stories, but lets not have that color the brilliance of her best work, A.S.
I’m not a fan of fags, but I enjoy Elton John and David Bowie songs. There are other authors who are libtard assholes, like Steven King, but I still enjoy some of his work.
So that leads me to conclude that even though Ayn Rand wasn’t perfect, the woman sure could do justice to a novel. I’m sure her being an atheist has little to do with a True Christian’s (patent pending) opinion of her work. Even if the True Christian (PP) isn’t just trying to get his ticket to heaven punched by slamming anyone who isn’t a believer.
Naw, that could never happen.

However, she understood story and internal motivation because of her life experiences. I think her first effort at fiction, We, the Living, is the closest we will ever get to understanding what made her Ayn Rand.

Howard Roark in the Fountainhead represented Frank Lloyd Wright. I suppose real life archetype’s are always flawed. Even profoundly so. But it doesn’t take away from their genius and contribution(s) to mankind. My opinion. An amazing book is “Loving Frank”, by Nancy Horan. It’s based on the actual events when Frank Lloyd right left his family to shack up with the early feminist, Mamah Borthwick. Nancy Horan took 7 years to write it and this book won James Fenimore Cooper Award in 2009 for historical fiction. Talk about literary eloquence. Wowza…
Maggie, EC & me transferred from HSF’s Wasp thread – then – to Andy Griffith vs. the patriot act. If the conversation was not transplanted to this post, I might not never have heard of Face In The Crowd and definitely would not have been able to consider HSF’s comments above , regarding Kazan’s “anti-American attitude” and misplaced legacy.
I suppose it was only natural for this thread to then segue into wrestling with El Ciber and Ayn Rand with KB. There IS a difference between free association and inane rambling. It’s in the eye of the beholder, guess. But no one here is “running for political office or trying to further any agenda, or jam any belief down the others throat.

@Jfish… am unsure if you mistook my little Pokes at Wiley Coyote as criticism of yourself. He and one or two others seemed to have taken humbrage at my commenting here and just as he and I had declared a truce, my welcome to you seems to have humbraged him again.
I never thought of Rand as an tool of TPTB. I figured she was the ultimate Objectivist, which suggest self-centered and intent on doing what profited her most. I only mention We, the Living because it tells the story of a young woman who grew up in Russia, as Rand did, in the upper well to do middle class, as her family was, who came back to Russia post Revolution to discover their home, business and possessions had been taken by the State and redistributed, as her family did.
What happens to the young woman in the story beyond that is, I’m sure, fiction, but the emotions come through as genuine and the ending is “right.”

Hi Maggie – No worries at all.
I do understand your approach now on We the Living. Thanks for clarifying.
Much to my intellectual chagrin, I don’t remember ever reading WTL or Anthem. I did read fountainhead and AS tho and then I read her biography and even subscribed to her objectivist newsletter back when I was in college many, many years ago.
Anyway – I have been reading TBP for sometime but only “popped my cherry” (regarding commenting) on Saturday. The only reasons I cross/commented to other posts since then & directing the STmonkeys back to this one is because I was enjoying it and I wanted to piss off El Ciber.
I grew up ugly and redheaded so you never have to worry about hurt feelings with me. I am fairly bulletproof. But that said – I will admit to being a freaked out by that “commenting too much / slow down” message that KB, Admin & I referred to above. I was afraid I broke TBP. Guess not.

You dumb fucks don’t understand that my video of ‘the bad guy’ getting walked out of the fine establishment was allegory that applied to Mags invitation to leave and it also applied to HSF’s critics when he says… Oh, why bother, you wouldn’t understand.

Here’s my question of the day: Where the fuck is Stucky? You dumb fucks don’t understand that my video of ‘the bad guy’ getting walked out of the fine establishment was allegory that applied to Mags invitation to leave and it also applied to HSF’s critics when he says… Oh, why bother, you wouldn’t understand.
Anyway, I continued the charade in this thread but I let on I was kidding by comparing Mags to Aunt Bea, the warden. Stucky would have applauded the dualistic performance. Maybe not, depends on his mood.
Jfish, don’t give up your day job.
fuck , I just had an epic response to EC and im shot down from a tech issue . Twice now what I was writing has been obliviated by tech issues . whatever
It was a good one EC , based on how bad you berated me one day , which was prolly justified lol
Had something about knuckle dragging pos in it lol ))
Be well Sir
El Ciber – I have been missing Stucky as well. His absence on TBP has been noticeable. Hope he is OK. Maybe just taking a break? Hang in there. I believe he will be back soon and (hopefully) validate you in the way you need. It will be OK. You’s gots to chill, man. It will fine.
Stucky is still here , he is using his Jedi powers to crash my comments , due to the fact I have various real swords ))) I expect an epic smackdown shortly lol
what ever lol thank god we have beer )
JFish says: Anyway – I wanted to piss off El Ciber.
You’ll have to try harder to piss me off, but one of the best ways to do that is to criticize my syntax.
Teachers can teach you how to write and cooks can teach you how to cook but once you get the hang of it, you have to follow your own path and use words that fit according to your taste and judgement.
HSF described his own development and Montefrio continued the thought. I believe Rick Nelson said that, in the end, ya got to please yourself.
gm, glad your still here. That shows you got smarts. Do I win?
Jfish, your comments are insightful
