Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I think most people on both the political left and right hate Ayn Rand because of her moral philosophy. She was an advocate of rational egoism, and most people are altruists. The right hates her atheism and her ethics, and the left hates her ethics and her politics. I think she was brilliant and agree with her philosophy.

Positivism was my favorite world outlook when I was young and handsome (at least I was young). I have softened my views a bit since reading her, but she is generally right. Have you read "we the living"?

"We the Living" was an easy read. "Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal" and "The Virtue of Selfishness" were more time consuming, but were much more informative.
I have not read We the Living. I have read The Fountainhead, Atlas Shrugged and Anthem. Her novels have been very influential in my life, but I have never subscribed to Objectivism.
I'm guessing they didn't even know she had done so, like myself, or don't care... I admire her for being so open about her atheism back before it was more widely tolerated, before her attempt to defect l suppose, but obviously not a big fan of her Marxism. In a quick search for more info l found this by her son. Very interesting.

I am amazed at how her son has gone above and beyond in counteracting her.
