Here is the actual text, which has fuck-all to do with Ayn Rand's harebrained pseudo-philosophy: https://libcom.org/library/right-be-greedy-theses-practical-necessity-de...

Most of it is the usual unreadable critical theory jargon that the ultra-left is so fond of, but it clearly owes a debt to Paul LaFargue's "The Right to be Lazy". Basically the author is arguing for an enlightened form of "communist egoism", contrasting the narrow selfishness of capitalist society with their idea of a broad selfishness wherein people's strongest personal desire is connection with each other:

"The perspective of communist egoism is the perspective of that selfishness which desires nothing so much as other selves, of that egoism which wants nothing so much as other egos; of that greed which is greedy to love - love being the “total appropriation” of man by man."
