I feel like screaming every time someone says that Ayn Rand hated the poor.

First of all, that is literally the complete opposite of Ayn Rand’s philosophy. She was an individualist who opposed any and all forms of collectivism. So doesn’t it just make absolutely no sense that she would characterize the poor as greedy and lazy? That would mean that she viewed poor people as a group who all shared similar qualities - exactly the action that Rand discouraged so much.

Not to mention, I have not heard a single person make this argument who has educated themselves on Objectivism/read her work. If they had, they would know that there are both good and bad poor characters in her books, as well as good and bad rich characters. A perfect example of individualism. Your socioeconomic standing does not determine the type of person you are, nor does it label you.

I’m not saying everyone has to agree with Rand, but for god’s sake, at least have an argument against her that makes sense.

Pop Philosophy: one post everyday, open to discussion

To feel that we are, children under God, and responsible one for the other. What’s wrong with this philosophy? But that is in fact what makes man a sacrificial animal.

Ayn Rand’s issue isn’t that she was selfish, her issue was she wasn’t selfish enough to be a communist.

Rand

[wolf-whisperer]

Nothing is given to man on earth. Everything he needs has to be produced. And here man faces his basic alternative: he can survive in only one of two ways - by the independent work of his own mind or as a parasite fed by the minds of others.

Howard Roark (the Fountainhead by Ayn Rand)

[wolf-whisperer]

No man can use his lungs to breathe for another man. No man can use his brain to think for another. All the functions of the body and spirit are private. they cannot be shared or transferred.
