Greebo Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 As Galt would never initiate force, but those who believed such directives were necessary will, such an attempt would never succeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softwareNerd Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 ...and then simply abolish the directives?If I remember right, he tried that. No, he didn't officially take over, but he told his captors to undo all the regulations and they balked. So, essentially, they were allowing him to take over if he was willing to be a chief central planner within a system of high statist controls, not otherwise.

He did it to show them the truth of what they were offering - A compromise to keep them in power. There was no way to do that and he told them as such.
