Atlas Shrugged,…. a model for MGTOW?

[indigoParticipant 16]

If you have not already come across the book Atlas Shrugged, I very much recommend it. As well as being a classic book, it has, I believe a parallel message with the MGTOW movement. Atlas Shrugged was a novel written back in 1957 by Ayn Rand. She had very extreme politically right wing views, and was in fact, a very good friend and influence on Alan Greenspan who was the US Federal Reserve chairman from 1955 to 1987.
But, the books’ political bias is not the issue. The MGTOW parallel, is in the story itself. The basic premise of the story is about a mysterious man called John Galt, who travelled the world secretly trying to convince rich industrialists and entrepreneurs, to effectively go on strike, and exit the world of wealth creation. The story was effectively a reversal of the socialist desire to raise wages for workers through strikes. The story reversed this by instead attempting to (punish socialism?), and re-instil the point that entrepreneurs (Who were in the main MEN), and who were the ones that kept the real world’s economy ‘humming’, but were not being fully appreciated (by socialists), for the wealth that they were creating in the world?
I see MGTOW partly, as men ‘going on strike’, and refusing to accept a feminist world which increasingly sees men as ‘disposable’ and of little worth. If you read the book and swap [men] for [entrepreneurs],.. and [Feminism] for [Socialism], I think you will find some intriguing MGTOW parallels and food for thought?
Was the fictional character, John Galt the very first MGTOW ?

Note :
I believe that Atlas Shrugged is also now a film, although I have not seen it.
