Title: Ayn Rand lovers, back off of Orwell
Review: Orwell wasn't a "once socialist". He was always a socialist. And I'm most definitely not a "USA educated Hollywood kid" or whatever you want to conveniently label me as. My father grew up in the USSR and my grand father was killed in a gulag. Yet, they were not so ignorant as to believe that socialism was the same as the horrors of the Soviet Union. Ayn Rand makes the mistake of equating collectivisation of resources with the horrors of state repression and tyrrany. They are not one and the same. So please, before you read this book and mindlessly take to heart everything that she says, please remember that the horrors she describes are not necessarily connected with socialist or socialistic economics. If you want to see the very real sufferings caused by unrestrained capitalism, just look at the global south, the working poor in america, the indigenous populations of South America, why hasn't Ayn Rand written about this kind of oppression?
