Atlas, or Atlas, is a giant who was punished with his shoulders on his shoulders in Greek mythology. Here, it is an organization, and the leader of the organization is John Galt. This group is dedicated to recruiting those who are really good - the creators of wealth, the inventors of technology, the soul of business - like the protagonist Dagny Taggart and Hank Rearden, Ellis Wyatt and others. Lead them to "strike" and stop being dragged down and exploited by this society (according to the author's suggestion, those who contribute can get the same reward as everyone else, like those who are incompetent and lazy, who have dreams for these and are willing to work hard A disguised exploitation of people. Note that in the author's world, these elites are already one of the rare cherished animals in society.) These insinuations were centered on Francisco d'Anconia's response to Hank Rearden at the tenth wedding anniversary party. The gist of what he said is that when society keeps putting more burdens on your shoulders, you shrug and let these ungrateful idiots know what it means to be without these elites in society.
The movie is good, not in itself, but in the metaphor behind it. The lobbyist who betrayed Rearden later became the head of the bureau of economic planning, and this organization sounds like the National Development and Reform Commission.
These arguments are sometimes offensive, especially today when everyone is protesting the gap between the rich and the poor. It seems that those protests and emotions have created an excuse for the authorities to crack down on private business owners with high taxes. But in fact, see clearly, in fact, we do not hate the rich, we only hate the unfair wealth that the government thinks is a monopoly of certain privileges. The real people who create enterprises and wealth with their own hands, diligence and wisdom are the real heroes of this society. It is they who pay more taxes and create employment opportunities. . .
