(T Guy):
No. She pretty explicitly attacks fascism... well, more or less passim
in the non-fiction. One of the more telling moments is when she wants
to attack JFK's New Society (Ne Frontier? Whatever it was called) and
labels it fascistic. w

She was pro-humanist - see, for example, the portion of _The

I have the VHS tape. It's very nice. Macpherson hates it though,
so he wins.

Rand is the most overblown bag of crap I have ever encountered in even
semi-respectable intellectual circles. And I would call myself a
libertarian.
Of course, blobby, if you ever manage to make to even semi-respectable
intellectual circles, or even semi-respectable semi-intellectual
semi-circles (still highly, highly doubtful even at that standard), you will
steal her crown.

I have read or have listened to parts of the book. It does come off as
very arrogent but still makes very good points. It is not the be all
and end all of philosophy does a good job of countering socialist
arguments.

How do you derrive this authoritarianism from her work. The ideas abe
based that people have a choice. She makes the argument that rational
self interest is the best way.
Please explain how you get authoritarianism from her?

Say, you haven't been reading Nietzsche lately, have you? Just wondering.
This one went forth in quest of truth as a hero, and at last got
for himself a small dressed-up lie: his marriage he calls it.
That one was reserved and chose warily. But then he spoilt his
company for all time: his marriage he calls it.

Don't you understand how stupid that sounds? It's like you told us
that Ayn Rand had cooties.
If you want your opinion to matter to anyone, as opposed to wanting to
say something stupid, it might be good to give at least one reason, one
example that might support your opinion.

Well, that was an impressive flame, but wasted as you'd already lost t
least some of your audience by that point.
