I know someone who is an objectivist because of Bioshock. I don't understand him.

It's like becoming a communist because of Animal Farm.

Maybe this someone thinks that it would automatically lead to super powers (plasmids).

Also, Animal Farm isn't about communism.

Stalinist distortion of Communism then. And if Objectivism would bring me superpowers, I'd totally believe it.

Orwell was a socialist, so yeah. It was really more about Stalinism I believe.

This is a very, very common misconception. Not that Orwell was a socialist (he was), but that socialism equals communism, when they are in fact two related but distinct things. It is quite possible to be a socialist and abhor communism.

That said, you are correct in that it's more about Stalinism and less about communism.

On the actual topic: If this movie succeeds, I'm pretty sure that proves Objectivism is wrong.

It's like you guys have never seen book to movie deals before.

This movie will have nothing to do with objectivism whatsoever. It will be to Rand's Atlas Shrugged what Will Smith's I, Robot was to Asimov's.

I think it's great that these far-right socialism-haters are making a movie about how high speed rail is awesome and getting in the way of it makes you a jerk.
