Ayn Rand was right about the world...up to a point. But CS Lewis found the ultimate truth. Ayn Rand died in denial.

I’ve read most of their books, and Rand makes a good case for refuting Progressivism but her dream world is a harsh place of misery for most. That’s why her books refute progressives so easily. Because they envision the same world of misery, only with different masters and slaves.

Thank you. That's the comment I wish I had made about the atheist old bag myself.

OTOH, I know someone, a devout professing Christian mind you, who says stuff like... "We live in a free enterprise economy, and IT'S BRUTAL."

I see it your way myself.
