Yet Rand worshipped the idea of elitism, perfect men, and the same style architecture Albert Speer created for Hitler's monuments, those grandoise Art Deco Greco-Roman temples. She was seuxally turned on by it all, wasn't she?
Also, why did Rand/Rosenbaum lie about her name? What was she hiding? If she was defending Jews against nazism, why didn't she identify herself as a Jew?
Also,would rand really admire modernday criminal gougers like Halliburton and Exxon? I seriously doubt it. She was far too idealistic.
Rand/Rosenbaum was an admirable writer, but she definitely have problems dealing with reality and her own identity. For one thing, she didn't give a damn about 99% of the world. Just the few, the elite, the imaginary "perfect men". It was all really just a deistic fantasy. Am I not right? Man as living Gods. The elite rulers and planners. Everyone look at us and how wise, genius and beautiful we are. That's why her work never connects with normal people. She is for elitists only.
Interesting woman, and worth reading, but not one to build a political philosophy around. She definitely had her kinks, and hew views have very little to do with the massive corruption pandemic in America today. |
