What did Marx and Rand have in common .. A complete lack of understanding of human nature...
Unless you are a dogmatic determinist, human nature is full of enigma and paradox. It is an epic debate where one's models makes still untestable assumptions.

ps:

In this century's perspective, climate change is a more critical topic than the Afghanistan evacuation. In this decade so is COVID19 and how we address pandemics and (public) health care more generally.

While the emotional attacks will take a toll on his legacy, Biden will be judged by his entire body of work. The US is now facilitating the one of the biggest (if not the biggest) air evacuations in history after being dealt a catastrophic hand by Trump, the Taliban, and the former Afghanistan government. Saying Biden and Kamala Harris have "blood on their hands" is rhetorical gaslighting at its worst. Biden/Kamala Harris are not Trump or Bush/Dick Cheney.
