How come Ayn Rand isn't more discussed in academic circles?

>inb4 redditors go ape shit and inhibit any serious discussion from taking place

>implying this isn't obvious b8

>>8814800
because unfortunately "academics" only teach leftist ideologies and anything otherwise is raycist, gayphobe, muzziephobe, etc.

I've noticed modern academic philosophers tend to stay away from politics in their academic endeavors, but outside of academia they're usually socialists.

>>8814961
Liberals you mean

>>8814968
I'm sure most are liberals but there are plenty of socialists. Usually it's fine as they really do seem to keep it away from their academic work.
Do you know any academic philosopher that is a right-winger?

Lol, why don't you tell us about it?

Even the guy on the cover is ashamed of this shit

>>8814800
/lit/ hates her stuff. But /lit/ also has loads of commies, so who knows.

I don't have a clue, haven't read any of her stuff.

remember when mods made it a bannable offense to bring up ayn rand?

>>8814800
her philosophy is bad and unoriginal and her writing is much worse

>>8815198
her writing is decent. it's the philosophy that's abysmal

>>8815200
Her writing is fucking terrible - you could probably ingest some amphetamines just by getting too close to the pages.

>>8815108
Underrated post lol

>>8814803
>implying ayn rand isn't reddit-tier shit

>>8814968

Liberal is a fucking meaningless American term. Stop expecting people to adhere to your stupid vernacular

her shit is basically her own personal fantasies, like Elliot Roger level shit. Also didn't she fug some kid half her age then sperg out when he started dating a qt his own age?

>daddy gets rekt by the Bolsheviks
>'socialist r like so bad guiz XD'
Who the fuck buys into such degeneracy?

>>8815208
Are you implying one need to take Adderall to read Rand's stuff?

mostly ex-christian capitalists who are trained to feel guilty about having money and need a really over the top bullshit reaction to that in order to feel safe
