No better proof of the intellectual bankruptcy than the left can be found in the constant bashing of Ayn Rand -- and the companion ignoring of her philosophy - Objectivism. Or the book Atlas Shrugged, which is a 1,000 page logical argument of all the different ways that leftism is evil.

The left can't stand the risk of people actually reading the book before metaphorically burning it, and so they bash Rand and ignore Objectivism.

The reality is, if you read Atlas Shrugged, and you're a thinking being, you will no longer be a leftist afterwards.

Alas, now the Left wants to silence any dissent- calling it "hate speech" and on this site, literally making people who think independently invisible (if they aren't hellbanned.)

What a shame. What happened to tolerance? What happened to embracing facts, logic and reason?

Do you have any comments about the referenced essay? Because what you wrote seems like a tangential complaint rather than addressing anything in the essay.

What is the Objectivist interpretation of what happened with Sears and in Honduras? If those are incorrect or atypical examples of Objectivism as applied on a larger scale, what are the better examples of success stories?
