Daniel Mullarkey Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 I am new to Objectivism and I have some questions about it. Would Ayn Rand have in any way objected to the American Red Cross despite it being a government charter organization? What I am asking is if that would count outside the norms of laissez-faire capitalism or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Mullarkey Posted April 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 I just realized by reading http://objectivistanswers.com/questions/1483/what-is-your-view-of-the-peace-corps that what I just spoke of is a matter that is subject to interpretation, but I would prefer a more liberal outlook on that, but not a Left outlook of course, and say that Objectivism and the American Red Cross are perfectly compatible by virtue of the American Red Cross being an objective standard that is based on objective need and funded mostly by donations and not tax dollars. Thank you and have a good day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

softwareNerd Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 It turns out that I embrace the open Objectivism of The Atlas Society. Welcome to the forum I didn't realize so much of the Red Cross is funded via donations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
