A book that has inspired so many of the Republican presidential
candidates must be a great read. And I know that nothing great is
accomplished without enthusiasm. So perhaps you can explain why " Atlas
Shrugged " and Ayn Rand's militant atheism can win the hearts and minds
of ordinary working class people who might succumb to the pernicious
influence of Bernie Sanders and Pope Francis . Bertrand Russell spent
more than 50 years reading, writing, and teaching philosophy too. He
always described himself as a SOCIALIST-and even won the Nobel Prize for
Literature. I will check to see if Lord Russell dignified " Atlas
Shrugged " with a book review.
Albert Einstein was also a philosopher ( who believed in Spinoza's God ) . Einstein wrote " Why Socialism ? " way back in 1949.
Does capitalism represent ABSOLUTE WISDOM - a primordial order of things encoded in the very fabric of the universe-before the Big Bang ? Or just one more shabby-and doomed- social system of the Simian Brotherhood ?
What is Lovecraft's COSMIC HORROR planning for our way of life ? By the way, H.P. Lovecraft was a convinced SOCIALIST by the time he died in 1937- a victim of global capitalism's last great crisis : the Great Depression.Judging from his many letters, the cult horror writer lived on Campbell's soup -in an East Side home of decaying Old Yankee, New England aristocracy.
I read that Ayn Rand herself-buried under a DOLLAR SIGN floral arrangement- ended up on social security and Medicare. A ironic end to " A Life of Contempt ".
