How could you possibly say that it's a fascist primer? On the contrary, it's a fantastic novel with Objectivism as an underlying theme. Oh, i guess you like the typical modern day novel where people sacrifice for everyone and their brother while neglecting themselves.
Below is a definition from Wikipedia of fascism. It appears that you have not a clue what fascism means, or what Rand's philosophical theme was in The Fountainhead. I think you lack understanding of both. (Actually, Fascism and Rand's Objectivism are almost polar opposites) Definition The term fascism has come to mean any system of government resembling Mussolini's, that in various combinations: exalts the nation, (and in some cases the race, culture, or religion) above the individual, with the state apparatus being supreme. stresses loyalty to a single leader. uses violence and modern techniques of propaganda and censorship to forcibly suppress political opposition. engages in severe economic and social regimentation.
I'm reading Mountains Beyond Mountains cause we have to as an incomming LSU student. The book doesn't have anything to do with college so I don't get it. I'm just gonna survive it and hope that that's the last book I'll ever have to read ever.
Which reminds me of one of my favorite Seinfield scenes: KRAMER & MICKEY: Rock, paper, scissors match. MICKEY: All right, rock beats paper! (Mickey smacks Kramer's hand for losing) KRAMER: I thought paper covered rock? MICKEY: Nah, rock flies right through paper. KRAMER: What beats rock? MICKEY: (looks at hand) Nothing beats rock. KRAMER: All right, come on. KRAMER & MICKEY: Rock, paper, scissors match. KRAMER: Rock. MICKEY: Rock. This pattern then continues for some time.
