indeed, anonymity = not putting yourself above or below anyone else!
I once saw Dustin Hoffman (no fan) interviewed, was asked what made you want to become an actor?
3 words: look at me, look at me, look at me.
a simple but honest answer.
despite what one may think of Ayn Rand, she had the insight (witnessed Statism in Russia) to expose the motives of 'Statism' with surgical precision.
'A statist system—whether of a communist, fascist, Nazi, socialist or “welfare” type—is based on the . . . government’s unlimited power, which means: on the rule of brute force. The differences among statist systems are only a matter of time and degree; the principle is the same. Under statism, the government is not a policeman, but a legalized criminal that holds the power to use physical force in any manner and for any purpose it pleases against legally disarmed, defenseless victims.
Nothing can ever justify so monstrously evil a theory. Nothing can justify the horror, the brutality, the plunder, the destruction, the starvation, the slave-labor camps, the torture chambers, the wholesale slaughter of statist dictatorships.'
to think the naive and ignorant have a desire to believe in a system that causes destruction both in economics and society.
