Liberals and Ayn Rand

I am surprised more liberals have not taken a serious look at Ayn Rand’s ideas.  Her arguments explicitly expose the condradictory nature of the conservative’s view of politics.  For example, the right wing Christians who say— “I am my brothers keeper” —on Sunday and then attempt to defend the selfish nature of capitalism—the pursuit of profit— the rest of the week.

Also, her arguments in support of open immigration, choice of spouse, woman’s right to abort a fetus, legalization of drugs, and free speech, use language conservatives understand.

Also, liberals in favor of non-aggression could enjoy reading about the fundamental reason’s why the initiation of force and the use of fraud are evil and in conflict with human happiness.

  1. The world will become an integrated global village that will fight war no more because to do so would not be productive and it would not be necessary because their will be enough of material wealth to go around and satisfy all the basic needs of all the people everywhere.
    Science will rule, and nations and religions will fall to the wayside and no longer divide earthlings from one another.
    Bigotry born out of tribalism will be a thing of the past and all ignorance promoted by ambitious opportunists that profit by exploiting the simple minded non thinking bigots of the world will become no longer possible inside an environment of social consciousness and world cooperation.
    A world planned economy that is designed by social scientists to profit all of the people in the world without discrimination will replace the outmoded market economy that was designed to only profit selfish individual capitalist owners. The capitalist owners of the means of production will no longer be allowed to exploit the world population of those that work for a living.
    I know that all of what I have written here will come to be, because it is the only thing that can come to be.
