Ayn Rand

In "Anthem," the protagonist Equality 7-2521 realizes that the mandate of life is to strive for individualism, freedom, and the pursuit of one's own happiness. Liberty in the book represents the idea of breaking free from collectivist norms and embracing one's unique identity and aspirations.

In the beginning, Equality 7-2521 is taught that individualism is wrong. The word "ego" goes against all collectivism and this is why mentioning that word is punishable by death.

At the end of the book, Equality 7-2521 rediscovers this word and treasures it because it was what he was missing his entire life. He is going against everything that he was taught before.

Anthem by Ayn Rand takes place in a dystopian future where individuality is suppressed and collectivism is enforced by the ruling government. The story is set in a society where the use of the word "I" is forbidden and where people are assigned roles based on their abilities.

In the book "Anthem" by Ayn Rand, light symbolizes knowledge, discovery, and enlightenment.

"Anthem" by Ayn Rand is written in a unique style where personal pronouns like "I" and "me" are replaced with "we" and "us" to emphasize collectivism. The syntax in the novella is simple and direct, reflecting the controlled and constrained world of the story. Short, declarative sentences are common, creating a sense of urgency and clarity in the narrative. The syntax also mirrors the protagonist's journey from conformity to individualism, with the language evolving as he discovers the power of self-expression.

In the book "Anthem," the society has imposed a strict mandate on individual's lives to eliminate personal freedom and promote collectivism. By having a strict life mandate, the society aims to control individuals and prevent them from developing their own thoughts and desires, thus maintaining a uniform and obedient population. Liberty, in this context, is seen as a threat to the society's control and unity.

Dominique Francon is attracted to Howard Roark because of his attitude. Roark exudes power through defiance, matching Dominique's disdain for the world and that which it holds dear. Further, Howard is aware of Dominique's feelings and purposely denies them in ways such as remaining placid where others would react, or deliberately misinterpreting advances. He acts as she wishes him not to, and oddly this is what she wants. Oddly, Roark is one of the few people who can understand Dominque.

She was not. On October 20, 1947 she testified to the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) regarding Song of Russia, a pro-Russia WWI propaganda film. She originally wanted to testify about the recent and popular Oscar-winning film The Best Years of Our Lives but they wouldn't let her as they feared attacking a popular film. Joseph McCarthy had nothing to do with the House (as he was a Senator) and didn't start his anti-communist crusade in the Senate until 1950.

Nothing is wrong with Objectivism. It is a philosophy based on facts, including those facts of human consciousness. It is an integrated system of ideas without contradictions. The serious study of this philosophy with an active and honest mind will prove just that.

Nothing is wrong with Objectivism except that is will reinforce "selfishness" and "looking out for number one" philosophy. Allan Greenspan will probably tell you that should not take Objectivism seriously. He ascribed to this philosophy until the USA Econonomic Crash of 2008. He since has had a change of direction.

Technically, nothing is objectively wrong with Ayn Rand's Objectivism. There are subjective criticisms that may not follow using objectivist logic.

Objectivism borrows Nietzsche's idea of a superman or ideal man and woman. The talented are expected to be treated differently than the mediocre, and the mediocre are expected to appreciate the talented.

Objectivism views altruism as immoral, thus putting it at odds with many other philosophies, particularly most major religions which at least pay lip service to the idea of altruism.

Objectivism is subtly misogynstic. The ideal woman is expected to worship the ideal man and sacrifice themselves to the ideal, whereas the ideal man is expected to achieve great things in their own capitalistic self-interest. There is lesser expectation or encouragement for the woman to achieve great things in her own self-interest.

Some make take issue with Objectivism's view of love in general. A man is expected to forcefully take possession of a woman. People are to be loved for their ideals, counter to natural human behaviour in this area. The generalized behaviour of society is said to be more ruled by emotions and animal instinct and is thus viewed as shameful. The philosophy introduces shame into the natural order of things.

Objectivism holds no value for other value systems. It considers itself the highest ideal, and does not self-correct very well, viewing its own systems to be infallible. Although it is designed to be self-improving, it does not consider the very idea that some of its premises may be wrong! It dismisses those with valid criticisms as 'Ellsworth Tooheys', mistaking dissent for untruthfulness.

Objectivism ultimately promotes victimization on multiple levels. For the talented, objectivism promotes the idea that other people are fools for not realizing the talents of these people, thus making these great men victims of a society that seeks to destroy them and what they stand for. For untalented people, it shows them that they will be unable to ever reach the heights of Ayn Rand's god-like ideal, and should thus instead serve the ideal. This makes them victims of the Objectivist upper-class, who reap the benefits of the lower-class efforts.

No, the phrase "to make money" was not coined by America. It has been in use long before the publication of Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. The book may have popularized the phrase due to its themes of capitalism and self-interest.
