It may be that Objectivists are more anxious to be free of
wage and price fixing by government decree.Anyone that knows better can go ahead and correct me, though.

I think I read the answer to this question in High Times magazine back in the 70's.

Very few here will ever come out completely for true capitalism. Everyone says the market NEEDS their prefered brand of control on the whole shebang. This is patently BS as history has shown over and over again.

More bovine fecal matter. Try all laws that do not involve "force, fraud, or theft".
More anarcho-nonsense. The basis of human law is not the foreign philosophy of Objectivism as adhered to by a few hundred humanist ideologues, but religious morality.

Which religion now CJ? Mine? Yours?
Sorry. No. The ancient "Golden Rule" is about all anyone really needs to deduce the most effective and morally correct form of government.
The Taliban ruled over Afghanistan as a religiously founded government. Is that what you would have for us?

Who's talking about religion? I said 'religious morality.'
To: Cultural Jihad
Can you have a "religious morality" without having a "religion" to base it upon? You really are getting delusional.

Characaturing an oponents position in order to discredit it is call the "straw man fallacy".
Wobblies ain't Objectivists and you know it.

Objectivists, anarchists, anarcho-syndicalists, they all want freedom from wage-slavery, no?You are so full of it. You have no idea what you are talking about. I dare you to find the words "wage slavery" on an objectivist web site, being used in a manner other than to mock some left-wing cause. Objectivists are not opposed to businesses employing people.

Gasp! And so they only give lip-service to liberty. We ought to be calling them 'libertarians-lite.'
To: xm177e2
Objectivists are not opposed to businesses employing people.And "wage slavery" is such an ugly term. Didn't Ayn Rand have a more pleasing way of putting it? Bearing in mind, of course, there are the John Galt Ubercapitalists and there are the necrotic, blood-leeching, lumpen subhumans who make up the remaining 95 percent of humanity.

Objectively an Objectivist's paradise...

So which religion would YOU put in charge of our new theocracy? How would you go about dismantling the Constitution?

I'm an objectivist libertarian.
(who thinks that both libertarians and objectivists ignore the obvious conclusions to be drawn from the respective philosophies.)
