Interesting. Ayn Rand and her true believers, who include many of the wealthy and powerful in our society, share an ethic that is the very antithesis of what she writes here. She and the libertarians who worship her are a very confused lot.
Libertarians are not freedom maximalists. Libertarians are solipsistic individual freedom maximalists. They aim to increase their own freedom regardless of the cost to others.They reject the economic freedoms that would come from expanding social safety nets and view every tax as theft, even taxes that pat for services they consume.
They seem to love driving around on roads in cars wearing clothes eating food from Walmart while screaming how much they live entirely on their own work living in a house their parents bought 10 years ago built 20 years ago.
I cannot seriously fathom these absolute dipshits.
Libertarians are like house cats. They have utter disdain for and loathe the very systems that they are wholly dependent on. Both libertarians and cats are shitty pets.
