Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism

[abaris]

I agree, the only people who I can imagine needing such strict guidance are people who don't have empathy.

Ayn Rand's so called philosophy is social Darwinism in a nutshell. If you're strong enough, take it, and damn the rest. Let them rot in the streets.

Granted, she was very young and fresh in from Russia, but in the 20ies, she stopped just short of open admiration for William Hickman, who was a child killer. A real man, that's what she called him. Just because he took what he wanted.
