Meanwhile on /new/ :
There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

Rand is Nietzsche for stupid people
The previous “LOTR” quote was attributed to Matt Schiavenza. In fact, Matt Schiavenza was quoting Mark Kleiman who was quoting Doug Merrill who was quoting the Kung Fu Monkey (March 19, 2009)
A bolshevist in disguise
And in Kung Fu Monkey comments, we can read about Rand and the possible randist infiltration in the comics industry, via Steve Ditko :
“I’ve always suspected that Rand, who fled to America as a result of Stalinist persecutions, at least according to her data, was a Soviet sleeper agent sowing discord in America by effectively starting a religion that raised self-satisfaction to the highest of human aspirations (but, as T-Bone Burnett sang, you can’t want nothin’ if you want satisfaction) and openly mocked and scorned concepts like altruism and charity; her view, enshrined in ATLAS SHRUGGED, that men of great talent should step away from society and await its inevitable collapse under the weight of its own corruption is oddly similar to Marx’s conviction that communism was the natural and inevitable end result of capitalist society. But as Marx failed to envision a future in which plumbers and electricians billed $100+ per hour, Rand missed the history class where she would have learned that morally rigid societies are in far more danger of collapse than corrupt ones, which favor the flexibility and pragmatism that makes them more adaptable.“

Of all the recent contributions purporting to be misinterpretations of Rand, this was the best yet. And as a bonus, we get a misinterpretation of Marx, too!
Thanks for a good laugh.
Well, misinterpretations or not, jokes apart, you can’t deny, that Yaron Brook of Ayn Rand Center celebrated the mass murder of japanese civilians. It’s sufficient for me to condemn this heinous and racist extremist ideology that is Objectivism.
byafi, misinterpretation of Marx? When was Marx interpretated correctly then and by whom?
And damn right on Rand, Charz! Capitalizing on the dead should be a moral crime, not the other way around!
>If you don’t understand Rand, you aren’t qualified to comment on her.
NS : The thoughts of Rand are soooooo complex that not one mere human could ever dream of understanding them…
>I find it laughable that self-righteous glorifiers of mediocrity like the people who say these things
NS : You’re welcome.
>are even convinced of their right to defile her.
NS : My Right To What ? Oh Wait, I didn’t know I had to ask…
>About Yaron Brook, he MUST have misinterpreted her
NS : Sure, It was just a little mistake. A 200,000 victims mistake. Asshole.
Lies. All of it.
