That could be, but she sure has had a profound lasting, impact. Unlike Chris Hedges, who is barely known.
chris hedges quote was at the beginning of james cameron's ex wife war movie
he came to speak here at the number 2 uni locally and it was sold out.
anyways back to ayn rand:
"CH: I noticed when--the small part I read in “The Fountainhead,” she fuses institutionalism with collectivism, which is not the same. Institutions are hierarchal structures having worked at the New York Times that are very good at promoting mediocrity as what--you’re at NYU. I know you can’t say anything. But that’s what institutions do. But that’s not the same thing as the “Wobblies”"

And that Snoozefest of a paragraph is why Chris Hedges is basically unknown lol. It takes 6 cups at Starbucks and 4 monster energy drinks to listen to him without falling asleep.
and yet hes still a best seller. he was interviewed for michael moores capitalism a love story. he wrote ralph naders green party speeches, is friends with cornel west 2024 green party candidate, interviewed julian assange, sued obama admin over NDAA 2012, interviewed roger waters.And that Snoozefest of a paragraph is why Chris Hedges is basically unknown lol.

LD: Well, she had a kind of childish misunderstanding of how capitalism works. So, she bought the PR that capitalism is about individual innovation rather than a class project, a collaborative, collective class project. So, in neoliberalism’s PR is that it’s all about freedom, right? Freedom from regulations, free markets, free minds. But when--in fact the history of neoliberalism is not about deregulating, it’s about re-regulating. It’s about altering markets and altering relationship to states in order to allow an upward redistribution of resources to let the rich get richer. So, it’s not about deregulating and freedom. It’s about re-regulation and wealth.

Rand did?
back to ayn rand:
CH: But there’s a sadist--sadistic quality in the sense---sadist in the sense that you derive pleasure…
LD: Yes. Glee is…
CH: Right. You call--you say, “The libido-infused desire for heroic individual achievement with contempt for social inferiors and indifference to their plight.” So, what she does as a writer is ridicule. I mean, you already see it in the beginning of the book, ridicule, make fun of the underclass, in essence.
