okay thats what i was kinda thinking

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley is pretty good, short and sweet

from reading your previous comment, i think we share similar ideas so i presume i can trust you on that

no i do not share Ayn Rand's atheistic philosophy

i am aware of it, but i do not subscrieb to it

i hear she hated communism tho

yes she did she was a russian immigrant if i remember correctly

a lot of the neocon RINo types like her philosophy

yes

but at the same time Rand had tendencies similar to communism, namely, a disdain for religion

in her philsophical worldview "altruism" is considerred by her as a weakness

very individualistic then

no

moreso cold and calculated view of capitalism

no morality, no religion, etc. because it is "altruistic". Her philsophy could be summed up with the belief that "greed is good"

well that would be considered as having a selfish view of the world and being individualistic, correct?

not entirely, a selfish view yes, in her philsophy selfishness is considerred good

because it is

no one else will care for you if you dont care for yourself

theres levels to this though

i suppose there is a bit on the emphasis of individualism, but it's not the entire point like many leftwing ideologies.

yea that be a good way to put it is levels to it

because an individual could be very religious or "altruistic" and this is viewed negatively in Ayn Rand's philsophy

religion is the heroin of the masses, you need to take into account why she disagrees with it. She is all about individualism, religion is do what everyone else is doing.

look at old pictures of the churches and what they were doing to the people who didnt fall in line

well that's probably because of her background in communism, and is a curious connection to communism she stil lretained

after all it was Karl Marx whom said that religion is the opiate of the masses

they were oppressive forces telling lies to control the masses

you are correct that this was Rand's view, but it is the communist view

yeah he pointed it out, thats how they controled people

no, she was anti communist lol

thats precisely why she supported individualism

lol well i beleive it's rather that the communists cannot control God, this is why the leftwing hates religion, it is too far out of their control

she came from communism and escaped to America

lol

right, that's why even though she was a detractor of communism she curiously still had some communist beliefs

you need to spend some time doing research on the torture that these churches inflicted on the people who didn't agree with them

freedom of religion, yeah kind of a big deal

i feel she had shady ties

i am familiar with the crusades and inquisition and witch trials. contrary to the atheistic modern view, actually most the witches and heretics were actually witches and heretics

proudly confessing it at that
