Also, you know, it's fucking fiction from an asshole who knew nothing about the world?

Looking around and it looks a little bit like she knew a fair bit about the world.

Do you believe that this comment adds to the conversation?

The market tried to solve this problem with workers going on strike a few months ago. Government regulations are what stopped it.

The market doesn't meaningfully have organized labor in the first place without government intervention.

It also doesn't have corporations.

(though I agree that smacking down these workers was some real bullshit)

> political philosophy

Mmph.

Hm.

I guess if Dianetics is a work on metaphysics, sure.

You may not agree with Ayn Rand, and in many cases I certainly don't, however she was a well known philosopher responsible for Objectivism and heavily influenced the formation of the Libertarian party.

There are many philosophers that I disagree with, but I wouldn't challenge whether they or their works are philosophical in nature.

Atlas Shrugged used trains and science fiction as a literary device to illustrate her philosophy.

I found it to be more engaging than her non-fiction works, which was the point, I suppose.
