Is Contemporary Liberalism Creating a Soulless Monoculture?
Both communism and liberal democracy call for people to become New Men by jettisoning their old faith, customs, arts, and traditions.
Rand and many other warned us about these creatures and idiot-ologies.
This is not progress, it's regress; it's not evolution, it's devolution.
Societies evolve for the better with the attainment of knowledge, an understanding of from where we came, our history, giving us a clue as to who we are and where we are headed. Our thinking, our customs and traditions; even our art will evolve naturally, taking with it, the best and most successful of the past, not by ignoring these things.
Knowledge and heightened awareness are key, Individuality and differences are necessary.
Communist, liberals and progressives have all but eliminated those things. They wish to shape You, in their image, so that they are comfortable. They have a dim view of mankind and what we as a species is capable of.
We are not the same, we will never be the same and we all will have certain strengths and weakness, different ideas and different paths to journey...that's what makes our world go around.

BTW. Agree with your original post 100%.

We need variety to apply Rand's principles and no one here has a lock on 150% vetted material.
Plus it's most times the off shoots of these discussions that are most interesting...even the humorous ones.
