Freaking awesome Libertarian infighting satire you made my day.

Do you have a problem with Objecvtivism or Objectivists?

ruveyn

Both a guess it is bunch of silliness based on discarded social science.

Well, let's put it this way - if you don't find any basic issue with Ayn Rand, Objectivism or Objectivists, you're missing some very important screws.

We can argue about whether Stalin was a fascist or not. But one thing for sure, he was a thug, a gangster and a monster.

On the other hand, he had a lovely singing voice.

A famous poet, too.

Seriously.

ruveyn

To some extent I do. Objectivism to me is overly idealistic and rests on several assumptions which are philosophical in nature and one of them in particular has scientific evidence to the contrary. And that is the assumption that free will exists(and only humans have it). I also don't care for the positivism and the belief that people are basically good and deserve to be completely free.

He also loved to sketch the male nude.

Saddam Hussein had also fancied himself a great poet. And who was going to tell him he wasn't?

To be fair to Stalin, he had his poetry published anonymously, never acknowledge its existence, and stopped it from being used in his cult of personality.

Very different from Saddam Hussein, who not only had his published poetry circulated under his name, but had also written a romance novel.
