There is a Marillion song just about this ;-)

Well, I gave up sugar and I gave up spice
I gave up everything that feels all right
'Cause I feel that these addictions
Are a chain you have to sever
I'm addicted to believing that I'm going to live forever

Here is another one:
An Ukrainian sees his neighbor felling trees on his property and asks puzzled:

- Why are you cutting down all these beautiful birches?
- I don't want the Russians to come and say: that landscape looks just like home

No worries, Supercop much better than that Rush Hour crap. Generally the late 80ies/early 90ies movies were the best, from the newer ones only "New Police Story" is really good, "Who am I" is somewhat entertaining, the rest is mostly a waste of time.

And automation was cost effective because automation is always cost effective. Even in China's sweatshops workers are increasingly replaced by automation as soon as automation for a given task is available. In the long term, only volunteering is cheaper than automation.

Simply because true absolutely rational self interest automatically leads to cooperation and socialism which Rand herself vehemently hated. Simply because it is way cheaper and safer live in a society where nobody is left behind and has to resort to violence or spreads diseases around because doctors are too expensive to visit. It also leads to a lot of taxes to pay for the infrastructure that benefits everyone - also a concept that Rand abhorred.
And finally it also leads to non-smokers because smoking is irrational, while Rand... well, you get the idea.

Ultimately, all her "philosophy" is a collection of fairy tales for money nobility wannabes.

How are you going to defend yourself if you'll be shot first?

If there is no police, nobody would bother attacking with less than deadly force. If the average citizen is unarmed, but some kind of law enforcement is in place, the robbers usually don't have the incentive to escalate things, but if the citizens are armed and there is no law enforcement, any sane robber would kill and then rob the corpse.

Pakistan.

It is one of the best Jackie Chan movies in my opinion.

Ah yes, no true Scotsman.

In fact it does. CPUSA is your far left.

actually, the electrification part has indeed happened.

Leninism? Okay. The definition of leninism is "dictatorship of proletariat plus electrification of the whole country".
I don't think that works out either.

Neither does fascism, by the way. Maybe fascism lite.

Communism, really? So which candidate supports workers owning the means of production, getting rid of money, and, ultimately, the government?

Okay, I'll bite. How do you explain that even remote European villages usually have underground power lines?

Needing a crutch to feel power and freedom is heterosexual... how exactly? In fact, walking is much more awesome than driving because when you walk, it is your own legs which enable you to do that. Guys who define their manliness by driving are the same people who buy penis enlargement pills so they can destroy the environment and help spammers to survive at the same time.
