re: #2 Romantic Heretic
Can’t say I’m surprised. After all Lewis’s Narnia Chronicles was all about people learning about responsibility through self sacrifice. Blasphemy to the neo-Marxist that is Ayn Rand.
Rand wasn’t a Marxist, her Objectivism was very anti-collectivism. Rand was not a totalitarian, she was just very, VERY, wrong.
And the very fact that Rand saw fit to hate on Abolition of Man may be taken as a proof Lewis was getting some things right. The first evidence of quality is that the haters hate on it.
