H.L. Mencken | Author of "A Treatise on Right and Wrong," which in February 1934 formed the basis of much of what Ayn Rand later compiled into a biocentric code of virtue ethics. "If there arose tomorrow a band of fanatics advocating cannibalism that was as daring in political enterprise and as skillful in rounding up morons as the Anti-Saloon League was in 1919, two Congressmen out of three would be converted to its gospel instantly, and three public-school teachers out of four would probably be serving it as evangelists within a month. In the field of government all the ethical sanctions simply cease to be." |

Transplanted from Russia in 1926, this young philosopher saw altruism unleashed in Bolshevism and glorified in Eisenstein's first film, the Russian silent movie "Strike." She lived through the Crash of 1929, read H.L. Mencken whom, in July 1934, she addressed as "the greatest representative of a philosophy" to which she wanted to dedicate her life, and went on to write Atlas Shrugged -- a devastating response to both "Strike" and the earlier Bible of altruistic collectivism "Equality" written by Edward Bellamy.

Although too weak on fundamentals to properly debunk Edward Bellamy's rhetorical assaults on individual rights, Sumner made important contributions to political philosophy, ethics and economics. His writings inspired Henry Louis Mencken and Ayn Rand, both of whom refer to his Forgotten Man in its true and original sense, undistorted by looter politicians. |
