    One of the primary criticisms of Atlas Shrugged is that the villains are so moustache-twistingly farcical in their incompetence and greed that all the workers of the world are morally justified in going on strike, killing most everyone.

    The book is full of what I thought were ridiculous strawman stories like what happened to the Japan delegation.
