Are we all left-tards here?

Come on now.  Are we?  While I myself wouldn't look for bible-thumping republicans, I think we should at least have a few moderates or radicals like libertarians ETC... 

Or is it the disproportionate european population here?

I made my argument. Her ideals won't work, just like Marxism didn't, and Anarchism probably won't. Exaggeration may help to drive the point home, but it's a literary device, and ultimately we don't live in such a world. What works in fiction may not work in fact.

Her books are entertaining, but Objectivism seems to make no allowances for human foibles. I'd be delighted if such a thing were possible, but I find it unlikely. Ergo, I favour what has been empirically tested and show to be both pleasant and stable.

Having lived in numerous countries, I find that the more socialist democracies are nicer to live in. The populations are healthier, better educated, lead more stable lives (read: less office politics, less "redundancies"), and have more control over the powers that be. You can go too far (I've also lived in a communist country), but that applies for both extremes. Again, this isn't either/or.

Once you find an effective Objectivist society that isn't inhumane, let me know; I'll reassess my beliefs.
