The working title of Atlas Shrugged before it was published was “The Strike”.
My goal is to spread this idea as far and as wide as possible.
The state - especially the leftist state which is emerging -has vast powers which can and will be used to defeat the opposition. What the state can’t defeat is an idea with widespread support among the people. A shared idea has no organization or leadership which can be harassed, jailed, or killed.
In the modern world, this kind of strategy can work well because it subverts the system which is doing the oppression while taking away a target. (In fact, this is what Islam does right now - it’s soldiers operate using a shared idea without leadership or organization.) The state won’t be able to tell if I’m just lazy or purposefully being unproductive, and while it trashes about, the system is starved.
Ayn Rand would be proud.
