• • Vote Republican rather than Tea Party? 
Harry Binswanger, Capitalism Magazine Altruism  |Atlas Shrugged  |Egoism  |Objectivist author  | Talking about liberty is all to the good, but Tea Partiers don’t have the idea of moral principles mandating absolute freedom. And at a deeper level, they don’t understand two key points: 1) the issue is freedom vs. force, and 2) force is anti-mind. And they are nowhere near to grasping that the mind is the instrument of human survival. They don’t even recognize that point when they read Atlas Shrugged, which not only states it explicitly but dramatizes it throughout. Further: egoism vs. altruism is an issue they don’t want to touch.   Published: 2010-10-31
