"All I am saying is give Rand a chance" is a short essay by Karl Jones.

All I am saying is give Rand a chance

Denounce and punish the Ayn Rand Institute for a variety of reasons.

But you really need to give Ayn Rand herself a chance. She is absolutely right about one thing —

"You are never called up to prove a negative."

To my thinking, the weird quasi-incestuous love of violence which swirls around Rand's reputation emanates from her acolytes and admirers, who, having fed on her corpus these past forty years since her death, now sweat a fermented post-Randian odor more scented by personal digestive processes than Randgeist.

History

I wrote the essay on the morning of Tuesday, 29 December 2020, in a comment on Facebook.
