Perhaps you wouldn't be sch a liar had you been aborted.Rand was a pretentious, pseudo-intellectual hypocrite.
The problem with philosophers like her was their extremism and black and white values. The idea of rejecting any form of collectivism is ridiculous and impossible to live one’s life by. Rand, specifically, accepted Medicare which ran completely counter to the values she spewed. It’s impossible to live one’s life on a purely individual basis. Society could not function without a degree of collectivism.
“Degree” is a keyword here. What many republicans fail to understand is that there must be an inevitable middle ground between individualism and collectivism in order for civilization to exist. Obviously, a degree of individual freedom is critical to human happiness, but that doesn’t mean one must reject collective values like socialism. Hell, America has embraced socialism since the founding. Paying taxes for services one benefits from has always been a socialist idea. Just because you support our defense budget, our military, public education for kids, Social Security, etc does not mean these aren’t socialist principles. The problem is that republicans don’t really understand what socialism actually means. They think socialism is all about not having job and living off welfare and capitalism being a mutually exclusive idea. Granted those ideas are socialist in nature, but it doesn’t mean that is some catch-all definition or that American progressives support those ideas.
This is worth repeating: while there are some few exceptions, American progressives by and large don’t want to abolish the private market nor do we want everyone being unemployed and living off the dole. We also don’t want everyone making the same wage regardless of the work. Obviously wealthy people serve a vital purpose to our economy - they just need strict limitations that currently aren’t in place. The ideology is quite nuanced, but republicans like to pretend otherwise.

I’m a lefty through and through, but there are a few ideas on Bernie’s platform I agree with.The American right wouldn't seem so extreme if you, yourself weren't an extremist.

If Marx never existed the world would be a better place... fact
I think it's more about daily submersion in talk radio, with its pseudo - psycho - bizarro libertarian preaching mixed with a comical defense of big spending.
You can't blame them for being so mal-informed, really.

The Problem with socialists/progressives is they can’t tolerate anyone not being part of their collective. Progressivism means progressively worse

Only republicans even bring that guy up. I am not a marxist and never have been. What I wrote here should give you that impression. The lack nuance you people think with is ridiculous.
Uh yeah but Marx was a man which is what we were talking about...Ayn Rand was a woman-Only republicans even bring that guy up. I am not a marxist and never have been.

Would the left be as extreme as they are if Karl Marx never existed?
Why are we still talking about Marx? Lol perhaps you lack the reading comprehension to realize my political beliefs I said in my OP were very much not Marxist.Only republicans even bring that guy up. I am not a marxist and never have been. What I wrote here should give you that impression. The lack nuance you people think with is ridiculous.
Of course, Republicans are the only ones to bring up Karl Marx. Adolph Hitler, Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, Chairman Mao, North Korea, and of late, Venezuela have given his name a terrible reputation but Progressives simply believe those are an example of Socialism being done wrong.
Saying, as Billy000 feebly attempts that he is NOT a Marxist is hypocritical and a lie. The basis of Marxism theory is that Capitalists, in Marx, that means all those who own and run manufacturing and business exploit workers. From Marx comes the idea that capitalist profits are possible because the value is "stolen" from the workers and transferred to employers. He was, without question, one of the most important and revolutionary thinkers of his time.
That sums up Progressive's beliefs in a nutshell.
Socialism is the first step toward Communism.
Did you notice how I didn’t talk about free shit for myself in my OP? Try to pay attention cupcake.Rand was a pretentious, pseudo-intellectual hypocrite.

It is completely possible, and beneficial to reject all of your thieving and parasitism.
When a leftist talks about collective, he means free shit for himself.

God you people lack any objectivity whatsoever. It’s impossible to take you seriously. Okay so women who attended a march wore pussy hats and you somehow think that is what Leftwingers in general wear when in reality we don’t. I guess it gives you a false sense of manliness and toughness just pretending that leftwing men wear pussy hats but obviously real life doesn’t fit in with that narrative.Extreme???Rand was a pretentious, pseudo-intellectual hypocrite.

One party wears a pro American slogan on their heads.
The other wears PUSSYS on their heads and masks on their faces.
Who's extreme?
