Vince Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 (edited) Hello everyone. I'm a British student and I'm fairly new to Objectivism -- I "converted" to capitalist libertarianism two years or so again after recanting socialism (I read the Communist Manifesto and decided it was a load of rubbish ). I am very interested in philosophy -- metaphysics, ethics, politics and so on. I was interested to read about Rand's theories, particularly since I've been a fan of Nietzsche for a while and I can see clear commonalities between the two. I'm especially fond of Objectivist epistemology, which seems to identify pretty much exactly with what I believe. So, hello all, hopefully you don't mind a newbie to Objectivism. (As for my general interests... I'm interested in history -- all history, but particularly modern, and especially that of the Soviet Union. I'm also interested in the theory and practice of totalitarianism.) Edited July 8, 2009 by Vince Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMeganSnow Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Hello everyone. I'm a British student and I'm fairly new to Objectivism -- I "converted" to capitalist libertarianism two years or so again after recanting socialism (I read the Communist Manifesto and decided it was a load of rubbish ). That's pretty impressive--most people don't realize that socialism is rubbish until they read something that demonstrates it is. They don't pick it up straight from the horse's mouth. Welcome!
