Born Alisa Zinovievna Rosenbaum in Soviet Russia, Ayn Rand✡ was born into a wealthy bourgeois family until the Commies came and took it all away. So rebelled against the system like any angsty teen, named herself after a typewriter, and wrote a lot of crappy literature that caught on with college students, 16 year old girls, and other selfish, egotistical gaylords and sociopaths. Her sci-fi religion, Objectivism, never caught on like wildfire among those who had piles of money and wanted to keep those piles and create newer, bigger piles while they were at it; but it was a success among poor anti-hippie atheist intellectuals of the 60s. On the other hand, her philosophy of "all women have fantasies about being raped", as laid out in "The Fountainhead" caught on like wildfire with the masses.
Objectivism (Rand's religion cult) launched a Jihad against rational thought and any sense of charity (even absent of the weak logic for taxation) at least a millennium ago. Therefore ED lies as high in their priorities as their acolytes typical state of mind (see graphic to the right). Yet in spite of this, Rand and her minions are largely humorless dickless wonders.
Atlas Shrugged is a 10,000,000-page brick of a book whose supposed climax is a 60-page speech by the main character, who doesn't actually show up until page 600. In it, Rand outlines her utopia: men are men, women are subservient, maniacal bitches, and everybody who has ever disagreed with her, faltered in their agreement with her, or just not agreed hard enough dies a horrible, slow death after the fall of civilization.
In contrast, her novella by the name of Anthem is written on three toilet papers. Ayn once used them to clean her period blood off of her cat's mouth. She was so inspired by her kitty's explosive tongue action that she immediately wrote every word that came to her brain. The result was Anthem.
This is great to read while fucking a cheap whore, since both are really men in disguise.
Ayn Rand always stayed true to her political beliefs... UNTIL SHE GOT CANCER! Turns out the free market believed that Ayn Rand didn't earn enough writing shitty rape fan fics while stoned on methamphetimines to continue living. So rather than choosing to die from the cancer she got from her own stupid choice to smoke (which she said didn't cause cancer), she proudly declared that she was only taking back money the she was forced to pay in. She did this by:
Never bringing it up
Accepting her delicious welfare under the name Ann O'Connor so that way her worshipers wouldn't find out or question why it was ok for her to suck the government tit and not them.
taking in WAY more than she paid in
