"I am Andrew Paul Ryan, and I'm here to ask you a question. Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? 'No!' says the man in Washington, 'It belongs to the poor.' 'No!' says the man in the Vatican, 'It belongs to God.' 'No!' says the man in Moscow, 'It belongs to everyone.' I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose... Rapture, a city where the artist would not fear the censor, where the scientist would not be bound by petty morality, Where the great would not be constrained by the small! And with the sweat of your brow, Rapture can become your city as well."

The funny thing about Bioshock is... a lot of people take it as  a repudiation of Ayn Rand... but if anything, if you listen to all the tapes and shit it seems if anything like a repudiation of Andrew Ryan the hippocrit..

 

I mean, the Objective Utopia Rapture rules early on, it got crazy technology we didn't have today and people seemed pretty happy, Andrew Ryan refused to help big buisnesses forcing them to compete with each other and provide value for people.

Things only really seemed to start really going to hell the minute he turned his back on his own principles because HE was being challenged by Falcone who had an advantage when it came to ADAM.  Falcone never crossed the line, which was hard considering how few lines there were... and eventually Andrew Ryan said "Screw the rules".

He lost his main supporters one by one until he finally took the one act that was most sacriligious to the objectivist code, in which he lost everybody.

 

Had Rapture never developed the ability to give people superpowers, there would be no catalyst and Rapture theoretically would of stayed perfect.

If anything, the creators of Bioshock seemed more sympathetic to such a philosphy then most.  I actually believe the writers of bioshock said this once in an intereview.

If anything, i think it's analogous to Orwell's statements in 1984 (since he was a social democrat and would nominally sympathize with Oceania), the idea that human nature is going to muck up any governmental system
