Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 тра 2024
- Ayn Rand's 1968 radio commentary on the Columbia University student protests remains relevant today, as she analyzes the ideological roots and consequences of using force in political activism on campus. This is the full broadcast, including her reading statements from the Committee for the Defense of Property Rights, the student group that opposed the campus occupiers.

Very timely.
Ominous precedent, indeed.
The Berkely "rebellion" was late to the game. In early 1953, while I was a Senior at De La Salle Academy, Newport, RI there were similar student riots in France, which were shown on the nightly news for a few weeks. Some of the commentators, while giving mild disapproval of the riots, praised the students for being activ, stating that, in comparosn, American students were slackers. In my school, the senior classes did a two-week long improvised parodyof all of this. Because of my red sports jecket (we wore jackets and ties to school), I was chosen to be a "Soviet Colonel [SOME of us knew the score]". It was at these student riots that the "peace" symbol was created. These were the "nuclear disarmament" demonstrations . I was probably one of the first persons in the US to display that symbole (which, it being a s Soviet Colonel, some of us REALLY knew the score). What really made my act whas this. During the Cuban missile Crises, they were selling full, plastic face masks of Khrushchev. I had a suit the same color as the grey one that he usually wore, One day I came in wearing that suit and the mask with the "peace" symbol, proclaiming "peace and justice: A 'peace' of what you have justice soon as we can" in my best Russian accent. The faculty did not interfere since they knew we were playing it for laughs and I was right on the money: That French rebellion was so Commie I could see it from the Andromeda Galaxy. So, by 1965, American Students were late to the game
Thank you for creating this
Ayn Rand prophesying with unerring accuracy university rebellions of the past and their meanings with what is going on at the present time. Love her. Let's hope the US stands up against this one, too.
1968 Columbia dark ages.
Second and very proud!
Firsttt snd proud
Is it the condition of the conservatives being always on the wrong side of history?
This should not have been released as audio, but as a written essay. No one loves Ayn Rand more than I do (ok, maybe Dr. Peikoff and Harry Binswanger do), but her voice on this recording is very hard to listen to. It becomes a distraction from the meaning of her words.
Her talks at the Ford Hall Forum are a pleasure to listen to. I don't know what it is about this particular broadcast that is not right, but it hurts my ears.
Released as a broadcast has its own value, for me. The slow pacing drives home the message of each phrase and obliges the listener to pay attention to the meaning of every word. It avoids the distraction of a quick and superficial read-through, in search of bytes. Delivery is deadly, detached, and very effective. It is appropriate for the seriousness of the content presented in the audio portion of the UA-cam format.
I thought this was great
@@joanr3189 I wish I knew why it bothers me. It must be a personal thing, but the negative effect is so extreme that I don't want to listen to this all the way through in order to try to find out what the problem is. If others get value from it, great. I just know that normally, listening to her reading the alphabet would be relaxing and a joy, and this really hit a nerve. It has nothing to do with her or the content, it's something to do with the audio, with the mechanics.
STUDENT STUPIDITY NOT REBELLION!
3rd!!! And proud!
