Ayn Rand was a very intriguing author and philosopher but she was vehemently anti-religion and pro-abortion. And she despised Ronald Reagan for not sharing her views.
Ayn Rand despised everyone who did not share ALL of her views. That was her ultimate tragedy - frankly she was a very arrogant and unpleasant person (as many philosophers are) and the fact that life dealt her a particularly unpleasant hand may be a reason, but not an excuse for that.
Rand is a social Marxist. It’s the opposite of the culture that accomodates constitutional freedom. It is the culture of communism.
She pegged the left in her novels, but her idea of good guys was awful.
