She also wrote that the difference between communism and fascism is zero. The commies just confiscate all the citizen's property (the means of production) and the fascists say you can hold a contentless deed to your property because we can order what you can and can't do with it. The end point is the same, total control.
They did that, but only because under communism everyone was supposed to receive everything according to their needs—which, given the economic situation, even the dumbest person would have recognized as an idiotic lie.
Ideologically, socialism was a transitional phase to communism. Since it, too, obviously could no longer stand up to comparison with reality, they called it “real-existing socialism.”
THIS was a wise woman - beyond most mindsets, men/women.
AND I'm seeing, these days, more and more of her wisdom coming into clarity.
But then, she came from that world. We're just being introduced to it, drip/drip/drip. Now the puddles have formed. We need irrigation before there's a flood.
Yeah, greater socialism always moves towards to greater government control for the greater good. Then it shifts to fascism as the large corporations who can remain in business are in incahoots with government. Then, the major companies top board leaders either continue to use the shield of government to maintain control, or they become the government all together and usurp the people. Once the people rise they get suppressed, and now all your businesses that can afford to opperate are half owned or fully owned by the government.

Communists in Russia, called themselves socalists.
She said no difference between communism and socialism....correct.
Bur Socialists are just too stupid to realize they are communists. People are stupid

Thank you sir
all of it is just Rule by Sociopaths.
Always has been - kings, pharaohs, chiefs, premiers, rulers, elites, whatever it is, at the top
with nothing but serfs and slaves at the bottom to do all the work.
Sociopaths care about nothing except power and control
They despise free people because free people are too hard to control
Now they're just trying to put things back the way they've always been
with the ruling elite at the top and the serfs and slaves at the bottom
It's not complicated
Now that the inbreed sociopaths' spawn are full blown PSYCHOPATHS , the evil is difficult to hide (thanks to Trump et al)
Socialism is the velvet glove. Communism is the iron fist. They go together.
Lube is only used on the dildo early. Later it's dry and often explosively propelled .
The left spends more time trying to couch their evils in pretty language and playing semantic games than doing anything to support themselves
I think a lot of people have argued she was a jew putting out zionist disinfo
Pure capitalism includes the ability to inflict usury on one's fellow man, as an opposite extreme to pure Communism
It's not that capitalism is bad but it enables bad / wrong things when misused, which Rand doesn't go in to
(but she develops her own materialistic capitalist moral system of "Objectivism" which may be in contrast to Christian teachings at times)
I believe your "Pure capitalism" is addressed by Rand here:
“Free competition enforced by law” is a grotesque contradiction in terms. "Antitrust: The Rule of Unreason," The Objectivist Newsletter
Capitalism is the right to property and the freedom to use it as you please (lawfully).
Usury is often just a fools bargain as is gambling , but I repeat myself.
That's the same thing, isn't it?
