Rand is very popular among High Tech Wizards in Silicon Valley. They Imagine that they are the Heroic Captains of Industry written about in her books... Breaking Free from the Bonds of Labor Unions, Naysayers and The Proletariat...
Rand was Born in St Petersburg to friends of the CZAR & Royal Family. She Moved to the USA in 1926... Soon after the Revolution where her family's Friends were Killed...
She changed her name to Ayn Rand in order to hide her Jewish Russian origin and her Sex. She moved to Hollywood after the revolution and found work as a screenwriter for Cecil B DeMille... Her ideas were based on the Hollywood Fantasy of what Capitalism was. She wrote The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged - Alan Greenspan was a member of the Rand CULT. She wrote a Manifesto "Individualists of the World Unite" - a Satire of the Communist Manifesto... or maybe a re-telling to fit her ideas... Rationalism is her Philosophy.
"The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, greed works.Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind." - a Quote said by Michael Douglas in the Movie Wall Street who was playing a character based on Ivan Boesky or Michael Milken - Later they were Sent to Prison for Insider Trading... Michael Milken financed Charles Hurwitz and the Hostile Takeover of Pacific Lumber - and the logging of OLD GROWTH REDWOODS... Pure Evil...
Former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan imagines Himself as if he were a Rand Character - John Galt... Even though he is merely a Government Flak not an Entrepreneur - not an actual Capitalist.
Her Ideas are aligned with the Libertarian Party - CATO Institute - Koch Brothers - George Mason University
The Leading Lady of Ayn Rand's Books was a White, Aryan, Tall, Thin, Blond Women... Who was a Leaders of Industry! But need a Strong Man to Dominate her. You don't need to be Freud to see that a Short, plain Jewish Woman would fantasize about the Master Race! Some say the hero was based on Frank Loyd Wright... a Heroic Architect... Who Drew Boldly! Others say Character Howard Roark was based upon a real man - a criminal - who Ayn Rand was attracted to. He felt that "I am like a State - What is Good for Me is Right"
Oddly, My Friend Mike walked all around the Rainbow Gathering in Utah Reading Out Loud from "Atlas Shrugged" - Of Course, at the Rainbow Gathering People Do What They Want to Do. Freedom of Expression is Encouraged. Some Play the drums, guitar, Harmonica... others Dance... Others TEACH Consciousnesses Raising Workshops... Some COOK... Some HEAL... Some roll up hundreds of tobacco cigarettes (NICK AT NIGHT). To MIKE, It was walking and Reading Ayn Rand Out Loud. I guess he wanted to spread her ideas. Most of the listeners SHRUGGED!

"Astute."—New York Times
Ayn Rand’s complicated notoriety as popular writer, leader of a political and philosophical cult, reviled intellectual, and ostentatious public figure endured beyond her death in 1982. In the twenty-first century, she has been resurrected as a serious reference point for mainstream figures, especially those on the political right from Paul Ryan to Donald Trump. Mean Girl follows Rand’s trail through the twentieth century from the Russian Revolution to the Cold War and traces her posthumous appeal and the influence of her novels via her cruel, surly, sexy heroes. Outlining the impact of Rand’s philosophy of selfishness, Mean Girl illuminates the Randian shape of our neo-liberal, contemporary culture of greed and the dilemmas we face in our political present.

I'm Looking for Information About a SUCCESSFUL LIBERTARIAN UTOPIA. a Town, a Commune... ANYTHING! I'm Writing a Book About Libertarian Ideas and It Appears That THEY ALWAYS FAIL! Please Name Names in the Comment Section Below... or Email Me gregvan[at]yahoo[dot]comThanks!

It would Really Suck if I Published this Book and then Found Out That Their Ideas ACTUALLY WORK!
The Short, Unhappy Life of a Libertarian Paradise...
The residents of Colorado Springs undertook a radical experiment in government. Here’s what they got. https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/06/30/colorado-springs-libertarian-experiment-america-215313/
The question libertarians just can't answer...
If your approach is so great, why hasn’t any country anywhere in the world ever tried it?
Unlike Libertarianism, There are Many Examples of
Hippie Communes That Work and Religious Retreats.
For Example: The Farm in Tennessee
Black Bear Ranch is an 80-acre intentional community located in Siskiyou County, California.
