Ah, so you're a Marxist socialist. Thanks for clearing that up.
Question for you: do you expect to get paid for any work you do (assuming you do, in fact, have a job and are not on government assistance) or do you do it for free? Unless you work for some religious organization...but wait, even those occupations collect some form of recompense. That means they don't just give it away.
"Atlas Shrugged" was not 'anti-working class.' If anything, it was anti-union and anti-bureaucracy. And it could be argued that in that regard it was prescient.
But sure, let's pay unskilled workers and worthless-degreed college graduates a minimum wage of $25+ an hour plus benefits and see how that affects society. Based on your comments, I suspect you'd also support UBI (Universal Basic Income). Nobody has to work, everybody gets paid.
Hmm, but where would the money come from? Oh right, from those filthy, capitalist, ruling-class billionaires...until they didn't cooperate, as in the novel. It's already happening across the country; businesses and those with wealth are leaving states with ever increasing socialist governance tendencies.
BTW, I am neither a billionaire, business owner, or some other baron of capital, just a 'rube' who worked their whole life and looks at events from different sources and determines for themself what is what without having to be told by anyone (and believe) that an event is "mostly peaceful" (when it is so obviously not) or that someone is worse than Hitler because of disagreement with his words and/or actions.
The meme was created to suggest to open-minded beings to read the books and maybe, just maybe, find the parallels to current events unfolding in our country.
Hardly a mad woman's ramblings.
"Atlas Shrugged" quite accurately predicted where the U.S. economy could go given conditions that have scarily manifested themselves in reality (e.g., government over-regulation, union sabotage, rising socialism).
She displayed empathy toward the 'producers' of the world by showing to the 'thieves' of the world what the consequence would be if the 'producers' decided to 'shrug off' their efforts to be producers to an increasingly leeching society.
In a format you might actually understand, look up the Aesop fable of "The Ant and the Grasshopper."
"Atlas Shrugged" is essentially that story fleshed out to a relatable human reality.
You are correct that the novel is over one thousand pages in paperback form. Your assessment would indicate that you never actually read, much less attempted to comprehend, the 'rambling.' I suspect it would be due to you being told what to think by the legacy mainstream media news and your socialist leftist political affiliation.
