People working without monetary incentive? The Capitalists preach that greed is the only motive for productivity! The superheroes from American kids cartoons who work without personal inventive could never exist.
The craziest thing Ive learned in my life is that spider-man co-creator Steve Ditko was an "objectivist" aka Ayn Rand follower
How tf do you write about a working class hero struggling with money, hates his boss profoundly and fights bilionares and you are a fucking ancap?
Ayn Rand was a firm believer of the myth that in a totally free market society, no matter where you were born you'd have the opportunity to become what you truly want. For example in her "strike" book, one of the striker is a train worker..
That would makes their anti-Communist indoctrinatiom more ironic since it implies that the Communists are hard working innovative people against the lazy Capitalists. What kind of diligent open-minded ideal Capitalist would always blame Communists for all the problems in life?
