I am not sure that Rand even knew how much she understood. She certainly understood human nature and how it is twisted to support Communism.
The Democrats use this thinking as an instruction manual.
Sadly, Rand’s only “solution” is to apply force and kill them. She lacked morality, but, in the end, may be right.
I agree she may not have realize how much she understood. But what she did understand shaped her books. Was this passage vengeance? I do not think so. It may have taken me years to grasp what she was actually telling us. I have always taken it as the death of the ideology, until recently.
It bothers me.
“Sadly, Rand’s only “solution” is to apply force and kill them.”
They killed themselves. They reaped the consequences of their beliefs.

Ayn Rand was so profoundly stupid that, not only did she name her purely subjective philosophy "objectivism", but she disseminated the internal philosophy of communism as somehow anti-communist. The supposedly earned-wealth of all of her theoretical protagonists was always fiat currency backed up by the threat of government violence.
NO! Not at all. She never thought the solution is to apply force and kill them.
If anything she would leave them to themselves to inevitably perish of their own flawed beliefs and actions. Effectively letting them destroy themselves.
Actually that reflects the whole premise of the book.
