There are strong libertarian strands in several swedish parties so there are some comrades in arms. Quoting Ayn Rand in parliament has happened.

But even as a libertarian leaning swede I find myself quite annoyed by Uber. In the 1990s, IIRC, the taxi market was striktly regulated and finding taxis where a problem. Now in Stockholm there are many, many taxis all over the place so I personally don't get what problem Uber is really trying to solve here.

The problem of how to cash higher in an IPO and be hailed by the media as the next next Zuckebergs.

What I find funny - and I like a lot of Rand, though I've understood the books completely different as most Americans - is that many of the Americans that quote and evangelize Rand would be "parasites" in a Galt world, e.g. all the Republican politicians who never produced or created anything in the Galt sense and are paid by the state.

Let's be honest with ourselves. There are plenty of Democratic politicians who, also, have never produced anything and are paid by the state.

That's besides the point because you don't see Democratic politicians promoting the Ayn Rand philosophy, unlike a large number of Republicans.

Yes, and this is in which way relevant to the point?
