Well the ... ( 2 months ago by XOmniverse)
Well the implication in Marxism is that the workers don't retain the full product of their effort when they don't control the means of production because the evil capitalist is "skimming off the top" so to speak.
Yeah, I see what ... ( 2 months ago by horvay)
Yeah, I see what you are saying now. Of course marx is complaining about unearned values. I think I'd sooner denounce the person (who you replied to) than saying there are similarities. :P
Well I had noticed ... ( 2 months ago by XOmniverse)
Well I had noticed the similarity myself before I even saw the video; it just prompted me to do a video on it.

I actually did a video comparing Agorist class theory and Atlas Shrugged. You should check it out.

These similarities ... ( 2 months ago by grantsinmypants2)
These similarities that you and Tooltime see between Rand and Marx don't exist
A construction worker, by building an architect's building, is not controlling his own means of production. He is doing Roark's means of production. The physical worker's means of production, w/o the mental workers, would be hunting and gathering. Reread the part of Galt's speech about the pyra
mid of ability I agree that Marx just misunderstood the Enlightenment and that he was a collectivist. He was shallow
rand proposes that ... ( 2 months ago by 893Productions)
rand proposes that people should produce for their own value, whereas communism proposes people should produce for everyone's benefit. these are polar opposites.

Good video. A note that Prodhoun is pronounced close to 'Pru-Doan', rhymes with 'You Own'.

Sorry if I'm a bit late with my comment, but I just discovered your videos. One reason why switching to market anarchism is difficult for me is based on the fact that most market anarchists' critiques of Marx don't prove that Marx was wrong on certain issues but rather that the critics haven't read Marx (and/or didn't understand him). According to Marx (and he spent time and effort in making this point clear!) exploitation has nothing to do with 'skimming off the top'...

She was against ... ( 1 month ago by kensei85)
She was against government intervention in all cases, that is clearly the opposite way communism went, one could even argue that it's a way more pure, more fair form of capitalism than we have today. Communism & fascism = COMPLETE government control over the citizens. Capitalism = letting people do things in their own way. I think she has more similarities with the founding fathers than with Karl Marx- it's a shame some people can't get over the "shes russian & russians are communists" thing..
Good video comrade. ... ( 3 weeks ago by XRR)
Good video comrade. I personally had never noticed the similarities between Rand's and Marx's idea of workers, artists etc. retaining the fruits of their labour. I suppose I've been slightly blinded by a mechanical disdain for Rand's politics. Just a point about Marx and communism: the communist worldview is ultimately a libertarian one, even from the traditional "Marxist" perspective.

It's humorous to see her non wavering appeal to capitalism, yet the Ayn Rand Institute, donates her books to teachers, is a 501(3)(c) non-profit organization and accepts monetary contributions. I love those wavering principles :)

donations and contributions arent wavering from capitalism

I said this one premise is similar. As a whole they are very different.

i dont think shes saying that workers should retain the fruits of their labor. shes saying artists should own their ideas and have artistic freedom.

How is that contradictory? I understand that capitalism is about profiting, but who said the Ayn Rand Institute was a business?

i love "atlas shrugged" but it's the only Rand book i've read. you're a smart dude. i hope the memes of civilization don't act as obstacles.
