I enjoy Any Rand,and many of her principals molded my current way of thinking. However, her theory of " the Attila" vs"the Witch Doctor" has a number of holes in it. yes, if the world were Galt's Culch it would be a very nice thing indeed, but what are we to do with the "witch doctors" and "Attilas" once we have turned the world into the creative Utopia? We will turn into them, because you cannot enlighten people who are blind to the truth, just as you will never be able to make eveyone think the same about freedom as you. You become what you abhorr. Just as Communists ended up doing the exact thing they killed the Czar for, we ( objectivists, so to speak) would become the new " Attila" and the new "Witch Doctor".
Ayn Rand is full of inconsistancies for a thinking person to completely adhere to her completely. I could expound futher,but I think I won't
