Anyone who needs examples should read some Ayn Rand

Especially Atlas Shrugged

Pushed the belief that if you are big corp boss man it's because you are better than the plebs. Know better than them. Smarter. More sophisticated.

And Anyone being exploited deserves it. It's their fault for being in their position. They just are lazy and stupid anyway.

Her opinions. Not mine.

Her philosophies actually follow what we call in psychology as the dark triad or Machiavellianism.

Aka. Anti social traits.

By anti social I mean going against social order. Not being an introvert.

All three dark triad traits are believed to be conceptually distinct, although empirical evidence shows them to be overlapping. They are associated with a callous–manipulative interpersonal style.[8]

Narcissism is characterized by grandiosity, pride, egotism, and a lack of empathy.[9].

Machiavellianism is characterized by manipulativeness, indifference to morality, lack of empathy, and a calculated focus on self-interest.[10][11]

Psychopathy is characterized by continuous antisocial behavior, impulsivity, selfishness, callous and unemotional traits (CU),[12] and remorselessness.[13]>

    We are talking about libertarian views.

    And no, to the Stalin remark.

    Imo communism in its Marxism form has never existed so there is no historical example.

    Btw. Libertarians praise Atlas Shrugged. It's like their political manifesto. It's been praised by many prominent libertarians.

    Have you ever tried ironmaning your arguments instead of using here say strawmen? It works a lot better.
