Why are her books criticized for being nothing more than political soapbox rants...

>I'm too pussy to say what I want to say, so I'm gonna have my character say it, and no - it's not going to be aphoristic in any way

also this slut's ideas fucked up america in ways you wouldn't believe

I feel like she's unfairly malinged. It's a unique reading experience with satisfying aesthetics. It's just that you're reading not about people or places but instead about virtues and ideas in (somewhat) human form. The romance between these iron characters is of course ridiculous.

>my definition of great man is a moneymaker

The Fountainhead and you'll get the idea if you enjoy it move on to Atlas Shrugged, Anthem is a fan favorite. Just don't become a fucking objectivist.

i dont care what anyone says fountainhead was pretty good, the beginning atleast. The end got kinda stale

Cause they didn't?

No way in hell.
The mere sight of this woman causes me unmanageable laughter

>why do people like good writers more than bad writers

Because she is lit verison of rap music (gotta get that money boi!). If you like a shallow thinking mong givng you motivation just listen to trap

See this is both a shallow view of Rand and rap music. Ayn Rand was a refugee from the collectivist system of the Soviet Union and consequently she was enamoured with the individualist principles of the United States, and shocked by those who wanted to adopt the Soviet ideals. She admired people who went out into the world and by will alone changed it according to their individual vision. This expression of the self was her aesthetic ideal. Obviously that does not create a sophisticated philosophical system and attempting it was foolish but a lot of people have found positive inspiration in her work. Not me specifically, but I found her fiction interesting. People attacking her work have mostly fallen for the leftist propaganda construct that she is a foundational thinker of the conservative movement or whatever, which is just silly.

>Cervantes and Dostoevsky did the same thing

MODS

Black folks in contemporary USA have a much harder life and face more oppression that any white folks from Europe, and rap has more value as literature than Rand anyway

Because at least their works were decent and had a coherent statement instead of being garbage written by a two digit IQ emotionally stunted libertarian.
>Insinuating that 1. Reddit isn't actually full of liberals and 2. That Dostoevsky didn't also criticise socialism.

What you said is so stupid that it forces me to consider it bait and not respond.

he's not wrong :)

>Most people don't like capitalism
>Most people don't like narcissism
>Most people don't like ugly people
>Most people don't like america

Cops shooting unarmed blacks kills as many blacks as lighting = worse oppression than the holocaust or the Kulak persecution? Sounds totally reasonable.

>not liking capitalism

are you retarded or do you like poverty

Because her work go against, collectivist ideologies like socialism and nationalism, goes against religion(specialy the abrahamic ones), goes against the idea of self sacrifice as something noble and her world view is antithetical to the platonist one.

Most of Yea Forums are socialists, religious or platofags so they would never consider her ideias.

most people shill for socialism or socialism light(social democracy)

That's supposed to say 'lightning', lighting propably kills a lot more.

Cervantes and Dostoevsky could actually write interesting soapboxes.

those things aren't happening contemporaneously.

America has a bigger Gulag slave labor system then the USSR or Nazi Germany ever dreamt of.

That again is such a stupid comment that I have to consider it bait.
