Why Atlas Shrugged

Reading the communist manifesto today a week after finishing Atlas Shrugged makes me realize the antagonism that is present between the two philosophies. It seems that Ms. Rand has put in her literature ( which I find highly repetitive after reading atlas shrugged , fountain head and a couple of her essay compilations) what a free thinker should be like. While the bourgeoisie are looked with contempt in communism , it is the same class of people which are celebrated in objectivism.
The romanticism in this novel gives a sense of belonging to the reader where , seeing the fate of communism in the world , is what seems to be the righteous path.
The strong style of writing transforms the reader to the world of the 20s and the 30s where communism was in the rise the world over.
In her reply to Marx and Engels , Ms Rand in the same tone , evangelizes pragmatism and a society which provides for the American pursuit of happiness.
She argues the rectitudinous in selfishness and greed ( which I would like to refer to as the basic instinct of man) , which in the today's competitive world more so, seems to be a morality in itself , much too different from the times when collectivism was considered to be righteous , which might be understood to be , in those times , in the words of Marx , Reactionism by the proletarians against the naked oppression and exploitation by the bourgeious.
It might be hard to grasp people rejoicing smoking a ciggerate , but nonetheless the syllogism, of it supporting Man as the greatest of the minds , through which it has been able to control the once dreaded fire , behind the above argument , as has been thoroughly argued by Ms Rand in her literature should be understood.
The advent of the internet and globalization has created a society , the same as the city of the Atlantis of the Atlas shrugged. The newer generation holds firm Ms Rand's oath of " I shall not live for someone else as they shall not for me" and " Give me liberty or give me death".

In today's scenario , the role of the government should only be restricted to , in addition to the one of providing liberty , monitoring of the human rights of the people , where the greed and selfishness , not understood in terms of objectivism , by the lowest of the animals roaming this earth ,would lead to a revolution of communism , leaving the society in utter anarchy , as the times which are so horrifically and abundantly described in this epic novel.
For the rest , the greed and selfishness will lead Man to the place like Atlantis.
