IMO, “The Power that Preserves” & “The Wounded Land” are the two best books ever written in that genre. The answer Bannor gives Covenant after the fight with dead/controlled Elena at the Colossus of the Fall brings a tear to my eye every time I read it.

I think the thing the Left hates about Rand is that she made it absolutely clear that the government, the means of the Left’s power, has no ultimate power except the gun - force. The producers of value hold the final trump card in society. When they say “no more,” the Left is shown for the fraud it is. They have nothing to seduce people with since there’s nothing to hand out.

Well put, but I would say it is ONE of the things the Left hates about Rand.

There is no doubt that all the left is can be simplified to thieves and perverts looking for absolution, and they hate anyone not willing to grant it.
