Ayn Rand and the Untermensch Morlocks: Ban Both Carbon and Sun, chant the Ubermensch Socialist Eloi of Today
What is more significant is that Communist Manifesto Principles from more than 160 years ago are now considered mainstream political economics today:
10 Conditions For Transition To Communism
- Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
- A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
- Abolition of all right of inheritance.
- Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
- Centralisation of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.
- Centralisation of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State.
- Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State; the bringing into cultivation of waste-lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
- Equal liability of all to labour. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
- Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more equitable distribution of the population over the country.
- Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children’s factory labour in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production.[7]

So how, where and why does Ayn Rand figure in now?

Aloha Rich,
Just found your site after reading Rick’s Pick’s. Nice to know there is someone else in Hawaii who ‘gets it’. I have to be careful opening my mouth in public due to the plethora of government workers about and even friends and family don’t really ‘get it’ and think I’m some sort of kook. But, lucky we live in Paradise eh? Do you surf?
