TruthVeritas Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 (edited) *** Mod's note: Split from another thread. - sN *** My point was that the concept "power" is irrelevant in a free market, and that exploitation is an anti-concept. I am new to learning about the differences between Objectivism and Biblical Christianity as it is applied to a system of political philosophy. I ask as I am a blog editor and recently provided some excellent Ayn Rand quotes. My next post will include a brief biography and list of her works and philosophy. I would like to compare and contrast her worldview to that of a Christian, particularly the system Objectivism would provide in providing assistant to the truly indogent.

TruthVeritas Posted August 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 They are infinitely different.A declaration of fact is not a question (nor does it have to do with unions, AFAICT). Oops, don't know how that showed up as a separate line. Anyway, if anyone could provide a few differences to the above question regarding the manner in which Objectivism would suggest where a truly indogent person would seek assistance (as compared to the person with a Biblical worldview).

softwareNerd Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 (edited) TruthVeritas, your question is not clear. What exactly are you asking. I suggest you read this extremely condense introduction to Objectivism (less than one typical printed page) and then ask your question in that context. "Indogent"? Do you mean indigent/poor? Typically, such a person would turn to employers, to find a job where he can earn a living. If something stops him -- very few cases like this in the world, but there are some -- he would turn to charity of family, friends and strangers.
