I know who John Galt is. It is I. I, we, are John Galt!
Defender of the Fatherland Day was anything but wintry: one moment it was drizzling, the next snow whispered over the asphalt, then black ice underfoot. Visibility was almost zero. You wanted to stay home wrapped in a blanket with a good book. At the Right-Wing School, that’s exactly what they did.
I traced the evolution of the question “Who is John Galt?” At first everyone laughed: a loner challenged the system. Then the system proved not omnipotent. He vanished, yet talk of him only grew. Now everyone waits for him, almost praying: only he can save us.
It’s the perfect answer for a beggar who brings no value to exchange. Utter the name and I sever the social contract where success is punished and labor is suspect. I know who John Galt is. It is I. We are all John Galt.
