I agree wholeheartedly with her on that philosophy...
So, my concise philosophy is the same as hers
But that is a problem IMO. I maintain that Ayn Rand's philosophy is in fact unworkable, just as unworkable as Communism, and for the same human failing, greed or selfishness, whatever you want to call it. Communism failed to understand the usefulness of it, Ayn Rand failed to understand its appetite. Two sides of the same coin.
Communism, in its purity is also a fairly concise philosophy. It states the necessary and sufficient conditions for an optimal society. Like Ayn, it is incorrect.
My implementation style is more collaborative.
This is not concise enough to qualify as any political philosophy, other than to be pragmatic, since it will accommodate anything. BTW, I generally take a dim view of philosophy, considering it mostly worthless, and from a practical standpoint it would appear that you do as well. You claim to wholeheartedly embrace Ayn's philosophy, but in practice you accept things which run completely counter to it.
Do you think, even in principle, given what you know of human nature, that a society could ever function with Ayn's two rules as the only laws of the land? To me the answer is no way! |
