Why do you hate this book again?

>> No.2671099

That's irrelevant. We don't discuss her here. Check the rules.

>> No.2671100

Because Rand is a cunt and her ideas mostly suck mammoth cock.

The book is a good read though. I personally like it, I just view it as a work of fiction

individual freedom doesn't exist in a world of individuals fending for themselves. that's just chaos.

I want you to read that sentence again and I want you to understand how stupid it is.
>that's just chaos.
The only time it would ever be 'chaos' is when said individuals start thinking of how to extort others instead of using their time(effort) as a means to obtain currency.

freedom can only exist in a cooperative society.

greed will always lead to individuals extorting others.

And to expand on that thought, chaos is only truly possible when the system LETS these people extort others.

Agreed. I don't think anyone who read Atlas Shrugged disagrees. Atlas Shrugged is not a libertarian book.
>greed will always lead to individuals extorting others.

legal or theoretical freedom may exist in a world without organization above the individual level, but practical freedom is unlikely to.

tl;dr read leviathan instead
