Good grief.
As if her piece of crap book wasn't enough!
I know there are no elves, nor ferries, no magic spells or lightening from fingertips, so it is tough for you to understand. So back to your World of Warcraft or Warhammer for you.

Her politics and her philosophy are so full of holes that you couldn't even drain potatoes in them.
Seriously. Only Americans take her seriously... and even then only a few of them.

Millions believed in Communism, but they were wrong. A large number of sheep in a flock does not make it smart or correct.

Who the hell opposed the nazis while the jews and the capitalists kept dealing with them?
Who opposed Franco?
Who opposed Stalin in the Soviet Union itself?
Who's managed to build trade unions, worker's rights, free health care, etc.
Who opposed the Vietnam war?
Who opposed the Iraq war?
Who opposes the Israeli behaviour in Gaza?
Communists. That's right.
You're mistaking State capitalism for communism. End of bloody story.

The arc of your body as it follows the impulse of her foot prior to crumpling would certainly suspend something 😛
How does the beestung one compare to Ayn Rand's fantasy women?

Nazi Germany's methods of mass extermination were adopted from Soviet methods.
"The Reich Security Head Office issued to the commandants a full collection of reports concerning the Russian concentration camps. These described in great detail the conditions in, and organization of, the Russian camps, as supplied by former prisoners who had managed to escape. Great emphasis was placed on the fact that the Russians, by their massive employment of forced labor, had destroyed whole peoples".
Communists. That's right. The party government.

Excellent points, Ace. I guess Lenin would just make his famous comment that "to make an omelet, you have to break a few eggs."
