You can also ask
Freehaven who really really really hates Naylor; just let him know you're new to his comics and you'd like a basic outline of Fisk's attitude.

There's a Freeper quote out there along the lines of "my brain interprets your truth as lies" or something to that effect. Freeper being a Free Republic user, Stormfront but more hypocritical because they claim to not be racists, basically. That and the median age of the userbase is around 40+, versus like, 15 or so for Stormfront.
I want someone to write a book where the rich go on strike, the working class just keep on working, and the rich wither and die when they realize that their sole talent is exploiting the poor. They could call it, "Atlas, Bring Me A Watercress Sandwich. Atlas? Atlas?! Oh God, Now How Do I Work This 'Refrigerator' Thing?"
Actually, I see the masses rallying against the self-exiled plutocrats with pitchforks and torches as a more likely scenario. Don't forget, John Galt et al initiated terrorist strikes designed to tear apart the world's infrastructure. Can you imagine the backlash against such actions, especially if word got about about the substance of Galt's horrible speech??
I notice that, in your opinion, "poorly executed attempt at parody" just means "parody that you disagree with."
Not in the least bit - good parody will be enjoyed by everyone no matter what side you're on.
I think you're jealous that I turned a boring piece of shit book into a brilliant and sexy piece of fetish wank. Go cry more.
You know, that's the thing that's always puzzled me about liberals - Atlas Shrugged features you guys winning - you get everything that you want - complete control over everyone, nationalization of all industry and all of those evil productive types and rugged individuals living in exile. In addition to that, the entire country was made equal - admittedly brought into total and utter poverty, but you achieved your desire of total equality and no more rich people.
So what's your problem with it?

You lie, sir, this parody is spot-on and brilliant. What more, it is sexy. Any sophisticated man of the world could see that.
And my problem with Atlas Shrugged is that it did not feature nearly enough SEXY FAT LADIES. As you can see, my reinterpretation has fixed that glaring oversight. Even Alan Greenspan himself would have to acknowledge the superiority of my version.
I think the fact that you're bellyaching over a piece of delicious fetish art speaks volumes about your sensibilities.

You know, a probably reason why the world is living in total poverty is because all the high powered industrialists ran off with all the money to their utopia.
You know, sort of like how when people break into your house and steal everything, and you have to live in poverty because they stole everything.

What part of the wealthy protagonists plot to starve the poor out of existence by eating all their cake themselves did Agouti misrepresent in this comic?
Yeah, she was so evil wanting to keep the railroads running so that her people would have jobs, people could get their stuff and selves from point A to B and keep the country running - teh hawah, TEH HAWAH!!!!!!!

I do believe the parody gets the depiction of Atlas Shrugged correct regarding the rational egoism.
You did understand the point of Atlas Shrugged, right? Or are you just a fucking moron?
Sorry kid, but if you thought the "parody" was dead on then it's abundantly clear that you didn't get the point, although to be fair, I sincerely doubt you or anyone else posting here actually ever read the thing - it's got no pictures.

Ahh but don't you see? He has to work, if I remember correctly, with negroes who want social security money so they can roll with their welfare xboxes and champagne. Feel sorry for this poor scared white manpatriot! That's the gist of what I've gathered his job is, he works in a welfare office. If I'm getting the wrong information, feel free to correct me Ciggo. That's just what I recall gathering from your hilariously bad journals where you hide from everyone who dares to have a differing opinion you can't easily counter.
AND it's a thousand pages long. AND it reads like radio instructions. (Really preachy radio instructions!)
Fun fact: The Ayn Rand Institute offers a scholarship which boils down to bribing college students a thousand dollars to read Atlas Shrugged in its entirety. Still, that's only a dollar a page. I suspect there are very few takers.
Also, anyone who thinks that people would just die if the rich closed up shop severely underestimates the human survival instinct. After some initial confusion, the power vacuum left in their absence would fill, or, if the rich actually had some way to defend their property from reacquisition, ordinary people would take themselves off the grid and adapt to a simpler life. Either way, it's the rich that would ultimately suffer the most in the long term.
Think about this... what do the rich actually DO in this country? They delegate responsibility to people who manufacture goods and provide services. Their only talent is exploiting others with actual talent. If the rich were to suddenly vanish, all the knowledge and expertise that makes their businesses work wouldn't vanish with them. The people who possess it would regroup, find a new figurehead, and continue to offer the same goods and services under a different brand name.
The gist of this coffee table breaker is "I'm taking my ball and going home." I'm sure that's a fun fantasy for the glorified middle men of the world who long for personal validation, but they would never abandon their parasitic relationship with the working class and the poor. There's just too much profit in it.

That's a very good analysis. I think it is true of nearly any business on the planet that, if the bosses, managers and middlemen were to suddenly disappear, the remaining workers could easily organize and continue operations, possibly with even greater productivity and efficiency.
The wealthy are becoming ever more disconnected with the working classes that support them. Once upon a time, the Fat Cats were actually concerned about developing and maintaining a viable middle class in this country, if only to buy their useless goods and services. But now there is no need for them to worry about a few hundred million local workers when there are a billion Chinese eager to buy their useless goods and services.

I searched "Ayn Rand" just for the hell of it, and I found this 2 year old argument. I do hope you don't mind.
I partially agree with this, but only by way of viability, not philosophy.
Atlas shrugged in unrealistic in that human beings are far too brilliant on average to see life changed by the current top minds filling a valley in Colorado. There are just too many fantastically brilliant people. You could not fit them all in a town in Colorado.
With a vacuum would come more a great leap forward... for about a month.. Then business as usual.
With the same cronyism, same corporatism, same shit, different oligarchy...
Rand's novel placed too much emphasis on the big business. History is often changed by the John Galts.. this is true. She should have focused on that.
If you have ever seen Jame's Burke's "connections", we see that the most influential ideas often came from the uninhibited mind of a tinkerer.. not large scale corporate research divisions. Rand's thinking is congruent with this, however, with the Failure of the Fountainhead to be seen as a philosophical foundation to support the virtue of self interest Atlas Shrugged tended to beat you over the head with it.. just in case you missed it. This makes it unpalatable for obvious reasons when we do not see this sort of promised virtue from "the best".
We see bailouts, fraud, insider trading, worker abuses.. the list goes on.
I would argue that these abuses are only enabled by a bought out government. With the interests of business able to use the coercive ability of the government.. it's not a pretty picture.
This is not allowed in Rand's morality. A corporation in itself is not moral.
So, why is there a lack of Liability?
Should I continue? I really didn't want to get into it.. but here I am I suppose!

You need to do a PREQUEL where she takes her initial inspiration from a child murderer

I think the only youths that would follow objectivism would be from rich families or go to a school with insane teachers. When it comes to working class people that support it, they are usually older people who think the only reason they haven't become rich yet is because the government is preventing them from doing so.

I keep coming back to this thread and laughing my head off.
I was inoculated against Ayn Rand by reading the Illuminati books (which are complete trash, but fun as can be) as a 13 year old in my Grandmomma's house, so far away from civilization that she only got AM radio </bragging, but it rather sucked having no TV>. In the Illuminati books, Atlas Shrugged is made into Telemachus Sneezed. It was years before I even knew what the hell I was reading. Same goes for the abundant sex scenes in the books.

Conservatives planned, funded and produced an explicitly conservative movie, Atlas Shrugged Part I.
What happened?
It flopped flopped massively at the box office!
So what did Conservatives do?
They planned, funded and produced another explicitly conservative movie, Atlas Shrugged Part II.
And what happened?
It flopped massively at the box office as well!!!

I searched "Ayn Rand" on FA.
So, some issues regarding this portrayal of Objectivism.
First, it would not be in a rational self interest to do something harmful to oneself. Mindless self indulgence (such as eating too much cake, even if you made it) is often cited as an argument against self interest. However, this is covered thoroughly in Rand's philosophy. I would argue that sitting around eating cakes and doughnuts is not a rational self interest. Thus, if you consume all the cake that you create and do not make a profit, then you are working against what would be considered a rational self interest.
Though, I do think Dagney could stand to put on a little weight.
The "slice of pie" analogy seem fitting. Still, we see another error in this. I would argue that the emphasis of who gets what slice is largely irrelevant. As government has no means of wealth generation, aside from coercive means, a more appropriate analogy would be "who made the pie", or who generates the wealth?
With this established, we are now able to point out a fundamental flaw in the comic. The government would not be collecting cake taxes, they would be collecting cakes. As, the analogy would be only complete if the cakes represented how Dagney wanted more of her share of the wealth (cakes ) generated. Thus, cakes represent currency in itself. The government relies on individuals cake generating ability.
For Dagney to become a wealth accredited aristocrat she would have to reinvest her cake to the rail, and invest cake into new forms of making the rails safer, and better, so she can remain in control of her voluntary aristocracy. Investing cake into new types of metal. Hank Rearden himself started his steel mill with only one cake.. Perhaps she would portion out as much cake as she could to find the inventor of a motor so advanced, that it would cut our nations dependency on Ellis Wayat's oil.
So you say cake is the root of all evil, have you ever asked "what is the root of all cake?"

No, we do not agree. I will concede to the sexyness, this is true, but not to the absence of additional flaw.
As far as the IRS in this comic, well, it would be a redundancy then. It would be like saying "money taxes", as taxes in the analogy would be collected in whatever recognized currency. The United states does not have competing currencies by law. Thus, such a duality in currency would be incorrect. That is why I made mention of it.
Unfortunately, one problem with Ayn Rand has nothing to do with her, rather, it is the people who say they follow her philosophy.
Sorry, modern conservatism boarders on the antithesis of Rand's philosophy.
She had this to say about it.

So.. anyone in the GOP that says they like Ayn Rand.. RUN!
Ironically, the people who defend her the most, are the ones she despised.

In satirical fetish cartoons, we often take license with reality, adding absurdist details to heighten the humor or drive home a point or make something SUPER SEXY. In this case, especially that last one.
So yes, in reality, the government doesn't actually collect physical cakes. But in the world of cartoons, anything is possible! C:

Oh, I understand. I liked it, it's funny. It's almost like I like Ayn Rand... and have a sense of humor.
I know that this is impossible, so we will not dwell on how I cannot exist. If we did, we would have to admit that a contradiction does not exist, thus we would have to check our premise.
As far as cake for currency.
Well, they could, but what would inflation of currency be like in this situation? That would be cakes produced with less and less calories (value), and with too much inflation humans would be really really skinny with all eating all the cake in the world. So, really, cake inflation, as sexy as that may sound, is really to be avoided. If anything you are looking for currency deflation. A world where a single twinkie (something of an analog to the "penny") would have as much calories as a wedding cake currently. This was the case in the 1800's, when caloric value was backed in gold. I am not saying we go back to the 1800's as far as cake policy. However, we can see that a cake produced with no fat, is not a cake able to get sexy from.
