actually she's pretty great, but muh intellectismssmsmsms and socialism fuckers badmouthed her to death.

There are very few great anythings, she was a pretty good thinker and a decent writer, nothing overly special.

You can do better than Ayn Rand.
Everyone can do better than Ayn Rand.

|In all seriousness though her books are very verbose when her "philosophy" can basically be summarized in a small pamphlet.

Marxist academics need to shut down all interest in the writings of Ayn Rand. She is a threat to their worldview because, unlike them, she actually saw real socialism in action.

>her books are very verbose
Amphetamine will do that to you

She was an anti-communist fanatic. Her popularity stem from the witch hunt for communists during the 50's and the "emperor's new clothes"-esque reaction to it, as everyone tried to be as non communistic as possible. Part of that common identity was to read and discuss Ayn Rand.

Rand is in no way a great thinker as the ideas in her foremost work, Atlas Shrugged, is nothing more than mundane. Her writing isn't noteworthy either. She writes like a college student who's trying to imitate a good writer but fails since he can't grasp the essence of the writer's style.

She's an interesting person who wrote thought provoking books but she was never a great philosopher. Only people who know very little about the history of philosophy think she's this amazing philosopher. Her philosophical texts are like Nietzsche cliff notes mixed with a capitalist slant. One of her greatest acheivements was creating a cult of people who call themselves objectivists and it lives on to this day. They were really popular in the early days of youtube. Every other faggot vlogger was an objectivist or a libertarian. The gist of her political leanings were spot on though imo, but the reasoning that took her there is slightly retarded.

She promotes the wellbeing of the individual, as opposed to that of the family. The basis of nations and civilizations is the unit of a family; the individual is a partial block of a family, not complete in itself.

No, fuck kikes

I like the way she portrays man and individualism. Much better than what we see today in regards to "higher education". AKA cultural Marxism.

Howard Roark will always hold a special place in my heart

Get out

Smart, but her philosophy is deeply entrenched in Jewish amorality.

Jew that peached anti-collectivism to white knowing that the reason jews are successful is because they are highly collectivist.

If you think Ayn Rand is a good writer and philosopher then you need to read more books.

CTRL+F for Jew. Therein lies your answer.

She's such an egoist kike. I'm pretty sure she had autism too.
>muh self interest

She's the greatest Jew that ever lived, as the antithesis of everything the Jews stand for. One of my great heroes.

Mah nigga

She's alright; but she's no Hayek.

She rustles the jimmies of socialist retards, so she's pretty awesome.

She cuckolded her husband and rationalized it with her "philosophy" but then she got cuckolded by her lover and didn't take that so well. Total cunt.

>Looks at left panel

One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn't belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?
