RE: 5 Stupid things about Ayn Rand

I've never read Ayn Rand. I've seen a couple of interviews,in which she came across as a nasty and ignorant twat.


My understanding is that she promoted an privileged idiot's version of Libertarianism. However, realising my ignorance, I will be happy to see a reasonable defence of her philosophy. (Stue has not provided it)

NB I also reject Libertarianism as naive at best,callously indifferent at worst.
