Care only about yourself and everything will work out for society

It's a book about with the reformation of matter, as these people see that as the only point of meaning. These people are big economic players, and some of them fall into government bureaus with hopes of utopia. One girl refuses to let elements stop her, and she persist all the way to the destruction of her company among a world anti-business. Cities are falling apart, the life and vitality of society crumbling. The main character stumbles into a libertarian community hidden beneath some secret projection field. These people are all those who left the burden of society to be free to work. That's how much I read up to

Bioshock

A good door stop

America becomes communist. Rich industrialists start disappearing.

Why do you care for a "society" that turned against you and wants you dead?

Train politics. Some good train politics too.

Read it and weep for the future of America. Although if there is a hidden white ethnostate somewhere in Colorado I would dearly love to know about it. Who is John Galt? Why, you are, young man.

It's garbage. Read the Fountainhead

Collectivism is bad mmm'kay

Well he didn't say to care for society, just care for yourself.

says who? new york jew society doesnt represent me, my society is my slice of the united states with 2.3m people in the metro. Theyre pretty simlar to me, and everyone treats each other with respect. THis nihilistic autism radiating from you is nauseating, how about you kill yourself?

The railroad business part of it was fantastic. She researched the New York Central heavily if I am remembering correctly.

>Make metal
>Make train
>Oil is kaput
>Stuff is kaput
>People vanish
>More shit stops working
>America is kill

And a really long speech

>What is this book?
it's generaly some hard cover with soft paper inbetween which have words imprinted on them, words that make sentences, which you can read

YOU FAAAAAAAAAAAAAK

You can watch the three movies instead of reading three big ass books. Normally I would say the opposite but this isn't some literary masterpiece however it's a very good idea

Plus a hot sex scene

thanks

Autism, an origin story.

Start being objectivist.

Umm. Wait. Are you suggesting you should be objectivist or else you are putting the interest of people who want you dead infront your own?
That is dumb.

just another jew writing about her relatives and their plans for the future.

The book is pretty much about a bunch of CEO's, tycoons, and magnates go off to buttfuck each other in the mountains and leave all the dirty plebs (us) to fall apart without their visionary leadership.

Honestly it seems like what would really happen is someone would wrest control of the companies they left behind and life would go on as normal. It's not like the head of a company is where all the innovation comes from, it's usually people below them that are coming up with new ideas and technologies or am I wrong?

I remember back when I was doing college applications most of them had this book as one of the essay topics to choose from. Even then I figured it was some kind of political litmus test, and that was before all the white guilt basket weaving shit took hold.

It is a really good dystopian book about the fall of America into socialism, told through the perspective of a few business leaders that are doing their best to resist.

Whether or not you end up agreeing with the politics of it, it is one of the best novels ever written, imo. A long book, but I got through it really fast because of how engaging it was.

Is the Fountainhead actually better? I just finished Atlas Shrugged, and Fountainhead just doesn't feel as good so far.

How did the kikes meme this into place as the conservatives favorite book over Moby Dick?
Materialist, degenerate filth.

You don't have to be an objectivist. Just don't be a sucker.

reminder she wound up living on welfare
literally the "libertarians should plow and pave their own streets" meme, projected over the totality of a life

Just play Bioshock if you're lazy.

I went right through Atlas Shrugged. Afterwards I tried the Fountainhead. I got about 80% of the way through it. Nothing happened the most boring fucking thing I have ever read. I don't know how people can finish it, let alone recommend it.

Sperm whales aren't destroying western civilization. Marxists are.

>Materialist

Does that make you an immaterialist?

If the dudes developing cryto code just left, they'd be hard to replace. It would take longer for manufacturing plants to just go away but you'd lose the tech edge of the nation if the best industrialists just left. Best ideas come from Steves Jobs and Wozniak. What happened when Jobs was pushed out? Did the company just go on? The average lifespan of a fortune 500 company is 15y my dude. They mostly burn bright and quick because their best leaders leave or get kicked. Consider Ford and it's 114y legacy. Still 40% owned by the Ford family.

>on welfare

Stop lying.

Jewish trash.

>Collectivism is bad (except for the Jews)
>Hurr sweat of brow (proceeds to live off welfare)
Ayn Rand was a typical hypocritcal Jew and lolbergtarianism/ancap is pure kikery.

Good Book, Long Book, Will make you hate Socialists/Communists/Statists Book...

just an incredible work of literature, you have to read it yourself to understand why its so hated, marginalized, and memed

there's more or less nothing about objectivism in the fountainhead that atlas shrugged doesent do better or go into more detail on. Atlas shrugged is more about the society and the fountainhead is more about the individual

this is a great summary user

It's part of the dying alone starter pack

>While Rand did not advocate sending American troops into the conflict, she did argue that America should “Give all the help possible to Israel.” She stated specifically that “the help Israel needs is technology and military weapons—and they need them desperately. Why should we help Israel?” She explained that at that time, Israel was “fighting not just the Arabs but Soviet Russia, who is sending the Arabs armaments.”

>Honestly it seems like what would really happen is someone would wrest control of the companies they left behind and life would go on as normal

That's what Mugabe said when he started slaughtering white farmers.

>One of many Jewish lies - the Book.

>Jew is a Zionist
Color me surprised.

Ugly parasitic kike.

White people are naturally individualistic. That's not really an aspect you can change. And I don't recall her ever advocating for collectivism for the Jews.

For tech companies that would probably be true to an extent, but in the basic stuff that keeps people going? Agriculture? Shipping? Energy production? Manufacturing? Chemical processing? Construction? It's not like the guys at the top are hoarding all the knowledge of those process, they're mostly just in charge of the business side of it. All the people below them are actually handling the day to day processes that make that stuff work.

It's a work in which the author ruthlessly parodies and mocks those who signal their virtue by spouting off about needing to make things "fair" and thinking about "humanity" instead of profit until one character does exactly that and loses everyone a lot of money, at which point the virtue-signallers become upset. It's a book about hypocrisy and the dangers of crony capitalism. The author really enjoyed writing the dialogue for the hypocrites, and you can tell how much she enjoyed it by how well written those sections are. She really understood her adversary and was able to voice the opposing side's views convincingly.

That's why when you read Atlas Shrugged, you have to imagine it in a racial context. John Galt gets all the Whites to leave and the niggers fall apart.

>Naturally individualistic
>Ignores National Socialism, Fascism, Iron Guard, Falagism, Francoism, etc all started in Europe

see this She argued as "hurr Israel is more technologically advanced". No shit, because we gives kikes tons of money, weaponry, etc all for free. A typical Jewish rat shilling for Israel.

Atlas Shrugged addresses that disconnect between business and what the business does. Dagny understands the railroad, and thus she knows how to make money on it, but her brother James is so disconnected from what the railroad actually does that he cannot help but lose money.

Sorry kid, I just don't trust kikes.
It's a personal prejudice.
The book is alright, havent read the others. it's fine for addressing Marxists, but lacking in grander schemes and inflates the industrialist ego.
If you think Moby Dick is about whales you are truly lost, the book is a mirror into your own spiritual growth. It changes every time you read it.

There's much more anti-Mexican sentiment in there than there is anti-nigger.

sorry to bust your bubble, kiddo

Reminder that America was one Libertarian and is now mega cucked.

...

I liked the Fountainhead, but Atlas is better. The Fountainhead is the prequel and is about the culture war. Once you lose the culture war, losing the political battle becomes inevitable in Atlas.

I always thought there should have been a third novel. After communist America collapses, the survivors emerge and start taking back the country. The Second American Revolution.

Agriculture tech is how we feed the billions on Earth. See Zimbabwe. I presented my case in terms of corporate lifecycles. My S Corp will die when I am done running it. That is 5 people out of work and millions out of my state's taxable rev. You want to think my employees can just take over, fine. But strangely they haven't left and started their own thing yet.

You believe in marxist propaganda that's older than you are.

>Jew afraid of a jewish religion

Fake news.

But would losing the business class actually cause a collapse or would people just figure it out eventually? That's what I find so unrealistic about the story.

desu I consider it to be one of the best books I've ever read. All politics aside I loved the story. The train ride was so great that you feel like your on the train with dagny yourself.

That said many will tell you its a poorly written pos, so draw your own conclusions.

Atlas is literary shit. She tells instead of showing. To the point that she includes a 100page rant. Gay as shit.

>Jews are ok with Christianity which is why they were persecuted by it, push atheism/degeneracy or try to subvert it via American Evangelicalism or by modern Catholic (prior to Vatican II).

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rus'–Byzantine_War_(941)

>Eternal enemies of Jews (Persians) show up to the birth of Christ

The people of Zimbabwe figured out farming eventually, so yeah I am sure the people will figure out how to code smart contracts. Everything is easy to figure out eventually, no specialists anywhere ever /s

E Michael Jones on Ayn Rand.

>The people of Zimbabwe figured out farming eventually

You mean the blacks "figured out" bringing the white farmers back.

>what is this book
It's about 800 pages too long, just a dyke Jew LARPing as a philosopher.

That book is good, but pic is must read.

Yes, I do. They brought the "business class" back in this case.

the moral of the story is that a libertarian utopia is possible and all it takes is for someone to invent a perpetual motion machine

t. berniebro

>She tells instead of showing

Wrong. She tells and shows. Imagine SJW retards running a railroad corporation. They would definitely kill people exactly like in the book. Shit, Amtrak isn't that far away from Taggart.

written by a Russian jew princess whose family was too greedy even for the czar's and decided to side with communist after that who then kicked the family out for being too corrupt

basically it was written by someone who was too selfish for Czar's and too power hungry for communist and was butt hurt all their money was taken

Rand and her family were the closest thing to evil. She died alone living off welfare after spending most of her life screeching about how welfare was evil

totally hypocritical self centered greedy bitch

Jesus Christ you're a faggot

By welfare you mean social security and Medicare. I agree it's some bullshit, but it's not welfare in how most people conceive.

greatest book ever written

What are Apples and Oranges for $200 Alex?

...

If people can't figure out farming or running a small business why the fuck would you think they could "figure it out eventually"? I mean, what the fuck does eventually even mean? How many extra years are you willing to wait for a rocket that can reenter and land safely? How long could those commies in Zim wait to figure out how to farm? How long can you take to figure out how to run whatever enterprise was brave enough to hire your ass? Eventually you die. Read a fucking history book my friend, the dark age awaits the mediocre. Decline awaits the comfortable. Death's yawning mouth swallows us all, eventually.
