    Hello /lit/
    I am going to be heading south over spring-break and I was wondering if 'Atlas Shrugged' is a good book to read on my trip.

    You must be confusing socialism with totalitarianism. Somebody that ill-educated would love Atlas Shrugged. Go for it.

    USSR was communism, not socialism. Communism is a quasi-religious form of socialism. Also, its worst period was under Stalin who was a totalitarian psychopath. lrn2history

    Any system, socialist or capitalist, tends towards corruption. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.
    Free markets with socialist health and education. That would be good. :/

    JESUS NOT THIS SHIT AGAIN.

    FUCKING GET OVER IT.

    BEST WAY TO APPROACH ECONOMICS IS TO PUT YOURSELF AND THOSE YOU CARE ABOUT INTO A SITUATION WHICH MAXIMIZES YOUR PERSONAL FREEDOMS AND LEAVES YOU INDEPENDENT AS POSSIBLE. BE SATISFIED WITH LESS - AND TRY NOT TO MILK PEOPLE LIKE FUCKING COWS. YOU WILL HAVE TO DO A LOT OF WORK TO GET YOURSELF ANYWHERE IT'S A FACT OF FUCKING SCIENCE - JUST BE DISCERNING, ASSERTIVE, INDUSTRIOUS AND USE YOUR TIME WISELY. YOURE NEVER GOING TO GET EVERYONE TO UNIVERSALLY AGREE WITH YOUR OUTLOOK ON ANYTHING - JUST LOOK AT THE THREAD.

    FUCK BITCHES GET MONEY SMOKE TREES.

    Of course they were communists. Lenin was a devout Marxist. They were home of the world communist movement.

    Ok anyone who says Atlas Shrugged isn't a good book hasn't read it. Objectivism, Ayn Rand's philosophy, is applicable to extreme conservatism but that does not detract from the fact that it is incredibly well written. Honestly best book I ever read, and yes I am a liberal.
