It's worth pointing out the obvious fact that, ideologies taken at face value aside, Marx quite simply played a lot better with others. Marx any day.

They was both to different degrees terrible people in their private life, through Rand win that by a mile.

But one was a interesting writer, who even if we removed his later political influence, one of the most influent writers of sociology.

Rand on the other hand is a rather uninteresting fiction writer.

Please prove to me how violence is inherent to Communism without resorting to Leninism/Stalinism/Maoism. Also, that's just sloganeering.

The one who believed in democracy and the emancipation of mankind, and that also just happened to be a serious social scientist, rather than a spoiled brat.

Both were lazy s who sponged off of other people for a living while they penned ideological screeds. The former based his entire ideology off his laziness while the latter based her ideology off of projecting her lazy mooching behavior onto society.

You're an idiot and that's all such a incredible stupid comment really deserve.

Marx couldn't get a job because he was pretty well blacklisted as a result of his actually participating in revolutionary movements, rather than just sitting on his ass and writing about how terrible things were for him, which is what Rand literally made a living doing.

A legitimate political writer who, regardless whether you agree with his thought or not, contributed volumes to social science v. an author of unreadable books with little to no intetectual content.

Guess.

Not a huge fan of either, but I'll chose the one that didn't contribute to an ideology that led to immense death and suffering worldwide.
