The America ruling class has been seduced by Ayn Rand Thought ?


The #MeToo campaign versus the presumption of innocence


And who do you think are the ring leaders of the New McCarthyism supplemented by the New Sexual McCarthyism in the United States ? Catholics - nominal or devout, Protestants , evangelical or  Unitarian, Orthodox Jews , secular humanists , people of the Islamic faith , Buddhists ?

             I wonder if the whole American ruling class been seduced by Ayn Rand Thought ? By the God Hating, Islamo-phobic New Atheism - whose voice was the late ( ex-Trotskyist ? ) Christopher Hitchens ? ( check out his " God Is Not Great - how religion poisons everything " for a quick course in toxic philosophy) .

         The militant atheist Christopher Hitchens had no problem supporting the war crimes of U.S. imperialism in Iraq . Like Ayn Rand he adored Apartheid Israel . The subjugation of the " inferior " Palestinians was of no concern to these born again fanatics of the New Colonialism and American hegemony .

            And yet for centuries the ruling classes used religion to oppress and stupefy the masses.

           Now they might suspect that God was never on their side. And certainly not that " carpenter's son " Jesus Christ.

     Woe to them !
