It was written by Rand who lived through the "radical transformation" we are seeing the US. Liberals, despite the name and the high opinion they have of themselves, offer nothing new or progressive. It's been tried and failed several times.

Their success at this point lies in producers being beaten all the time and hoodwinked into thinking they must stay in the system and continue producing on the collective's terms. That's just not true.

If producers withdrew it would force the collective to either make an overt claim on human beings (slavery) or honor free will (freedom) and individual rights.

So imagine if cattle ranchers stopped brining beef to market?
