Yes. Many years ago, I had a hot summer affair with Ayn Rand. Moaning with pleasure, I read “Atlas Shrugged” through (including 181-pages long programmatic monologue of John Galt). When I finished reading, I looked around, and said to myself, “No f… way!”

Historically, that was my turning point towards anarchism.

this notion that the people and the government exist as separate, independent entities where you can hate one and love the other, is entirely nonsensical.

From where I live, it looks like a typical clash of two imperial mentalities, different only in their flags’ colours.

Also “communist China”? Heeelllooo? State capitalism at its best.
