Rapture is supposed to be an objectivist utopia, sorta like Gatt's Valley. Not ancapistan.

I meant that Ryan's ideas leave no room for nuance.
Yes. The tapes are also about the conditions of the poor, which is also the reason why Rapture couldn't last long.
Conflicts in ownership are usually resolved by the court. I don't remember hearing about courts or police (or I just have a shitty memory).
@Majkatsu
Yeah. They leave no room for nuance. However Rapture is much closer to an ancapistan than a objectivist state.
You also can't forget that Adam turned the population insane.

âAn artist strives to frame his ideals in an image; to challenge his audience and to make his vision immortal. But the parasites say 'no, your art must serve the cause... your ideals endanger the people!'â
I chose... Rapture, a city where the artist would not fear the censor, where the scientist would not be bound by petty morality, Where the great would not be constrained by the small! And with the sweat of your brow, Rapture can become your city as well.
Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? 'No!' says the man in Washington, 'It belongs to the poor.' 'No!' says the man in the Vatican, 'It belongs to God.' 'No!' says the man in Moscow, 'It belongs to everyone.' I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible.
I'm the joke, but you're the punchline.
I run this website. I like posting funnies and fugging lolis.
