Ayn Rand Was Once “A Thing”
Ayn Rand was “a thing” when I was growing up in the 1960s and 70s, though most people today wonder how that was possible.
Here’s an AI summary of what liberals/altruists gave us:
Liberalism has historically driven the establishment of fundamental rights, social safety nets, and regulatory protections in the U.S. Key contributions include the Bill of Rights, Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, civil rights legislation, the 40-hour work week, women’s suffrage, and environmental protection laws, focusing on individual liberty and equality.
Fundamental Rights & Freedoms: Promotion of freedom of speech, religion, the press, and separation of church and state.
Social Safety Nets: Creation of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid to protect vulnerable populations.
Labor Protections: Establishment of the 40-hour work week, child labor laws, overtime pay, and safe working conditions
Consumer & Environmental Safety: Implementation of the Pure Food and Drug Act and regulations for cleaner air and water.
Public Infrastructure: Expansion of public education and investment in infrastructure.
All of these are hated by the Modern Conservative – who believes in the ideologies of Totalitarianism; Dictatorship; Limiting Personal Freedom; Xenophobia; Nationalism; Loyalty to the Leader over Country; and Sovereign Economy.
There are two groups of people that have turned themselves from Americans in to follows of these ideologies: the Party Members of the Third Reich Nazi Government under Adolph Hitler, and the present “NEMP” / Nazi Evangelical MAGA Party under Donald Trump.
