That would be self defense friend... It would be the guy who punched you who initiated force against you and is wrong.Moreover the nonaggression principle stems from the belief that the initiation of force against peaceful people is immoral, not a political party. This isn't to say there should be no force, but that it should avoided as much as humanly possible.

Hell, even the GOAT dostoyevsky died poor on the outskirts of society
Art/literature is bigger than its creator, thankfully so in this case.
Her essay on racism is still the best I have ever read though

and what did I say? They took ones NATURAL INSTANCE and try to proclaim that it's a libertarian mentality which it isn't.
That's like saying only Liberals/Demos can be pro-homeless or some shyt and republicans can't nikka.

You didnt like it? Her work is for 16-20 year olds who need to develop some self esteem and pride in themselves.

2. If it were true, then it goes on the list of reasons why Atlas Shrugged should not be considered a classic.

Her fiction is harry potter level breh. Its motivation for teenagers to want to create something/be responsible with their lives. If it also serves as a way for a$$holes to justify their success that doesnt mean much - they would have found some reason to justify being a prick anyway.
Its several notches below TBK and The Outsider but its still a cool book.
***I read Rand when I was 17 and have no itch to re read any of her stuff.
libertarianism doesn't make any sense.You are actually in agreeance with the core tenet of libertarianism.
I think you should pay less attention to individual libertarians, and try applying this moral center to more of your political outlook.
just be small government and call it a day.
What exactly doesnt make sense to you?
Its immoral to initiate force against peaceful people, and doing so should be avoided as much as possible... seems simple enough.

What does "peaceful" have to do about anything?
And what do you mean by "force?"
If you want to live in a community, you must cede certain "freedoms" for the sake of the collective good.

Personally I don't see any value in anything she says. She was a poor writer and a moron masquerading as a 'philosopher'. This notion that Ayn Rand is at the heart of libertarianism is simply not true, in fact she herself was quite hostile to libertarian views. If I could get one message clearly to those who ask such questions, that would be it.
