From Ayn Rand to Bernie Sanders



As a lifelong democratic Socialist (sadly " independent" ) I am inspired by this convert from " The Virtue of Selfishness " to the virtue of St. Francis.  St. Francis inspired modern Catholic social philosophy presently preached by Pope Francis. At bottom Socialism is not state worship but respect for our common humanity .
     My generation thought there was virtue in mere YOUTH  : " Don't trust anybody over 30 ". But if middle age " failure " or old age vulnerability cannot cure " The Virtue of Selfishness " , nothing will  ( perhaps hollow " success " ?  )
        Bernie Sanders is running against " The Culture of Narcissism ".
     I will reference the above excellent article and author in my own blog.

Former Ayn Rand fan turns " socialist "
