So let me guess this straight, your argument is that the citizens living under capitalism enjoying a wide distribution of wealth, prosperity, upward mobility, living standards and individual liberty are the slaves; while the citizens of the Soviet Union weren't ?Uh-huh and it's worked out so spectacularly for the 100's of millions of people that have lived in countries where it's been implemented too, just ask all the slaves..er "citizens" of the former Soviet Union just how peachy things were.Btw, does anybody know, in reality both communism and socialism were based on very wide low-level democracy. People didn't have ability to say "Hey, Brezhnev, you doing something wrong!", but could say "hey, my boss - you are really doing something wrong!" - don't try to repeat it in current life.
So, it's a logical, Ayn Rand hated the communism, because she couldn't live in communism, like her bloodsuckers family... Communism is really a formation for million people, which prefer to live by their labor, not by slave-like exploitation of other people...
Oh, it was a perfect, beautiful time, instead of current...
You claim people of former USSR as slaves only because you don't know, the real slaves - a billion people around. A slaves of money, of political correctness, of gay propaganda, of democracy ideology, of stock playing, periodic financial crisyses and so on, till the Obamacare... It's really psychologically hard, but look at mirror first
BTW; Apparently the television signals from Earth have been horribly distorted on their journey to your planet, don't worry we'll send a probe loaded with MPEG's so you can see what life was really like in the good ole Soviet Union.
