Also, Ayn Rand was a fascist, sorry if you're too dumb to accept that.
"This is objective!" <--- Fuck off.
It's just as bad as when Marxists like to pretend that classical logic "inevitably" leads to Communism™. As though their flimsy and fallible "dialectics" are the heir to Plato himself. Just get fucked.

@druid Ahh yes, the opponent of government control was actually for government control. Totally makes sense. I see no problem with that at all. /s
@matrix @druid You can dislike and criticize someone's ideas without trying to categorize them in absurd ways. Fascism economically has always portrayed itself as a "third way" between Capitalism and Communism, and the conflation between Capitalism and Fascism literally only exists in Marxist propaganda.
@ArdanianRight @matrix Tiny brain take, realy not a surprise
@matrix @druid @ArdanianRight Ayn Rand spent her entire life railing against social security and medicare, only to sign up for it herself (and her husband) at the end of her life. Her foundation and her followers have a multitude of weak excuses for why it was ok for her to be a hypocrite instead of starving to death like the "leeches" she condemned to starvation and deprivation for years, because reasons, ok. Also she was a cheating whore who was fond of rape fantasies like the ones she put in her books, but that's not important right now.

@Grandtheftautism @ArdanianRight @druid Yes, but how does that make her a fascist?
@matrix @ArdanianRight @druid i don't really have a position as to whether she was a fascist or not; my beef with her is that she was a hypocrite and a whore whose entire ideology expired back in 1982 when she turned her back on every principle she'd previously espoused. Too bad she didn't die before she managed to convince people like Alan Greenspan that social safety net programs should be reduced, causing suffering to untold thousands; we can thank social security and Medicare for keeping her alive long enough to ensure that later generations got fewer benefits than she enjoyed in her lifetime.
