The Libertarian party and movement reflects this soullessness. It’s is mindless in it’s distain for goodness and humanity, imho. The absense of good is evil. There will be no vacuume.

Libertarians have awarded the Left total social and cultural power for the last thirty years. I observe it to be mindlessly anti-moral, anti-ethical and anti-human in practice. I see the evolved state of affairs in fascist America, where corporations dominate government and American life and government as the ultimate vision of Rand. It is pure materialism. It despises Christians because it is the opposite of what Jesus represented in humanity.

If you ever actually decide to read some of her works, you should understand how utterly incorrect that statement is. A quick easy place for you to begin, would be her address to the Graduating class at West Point in the 70s. It’s easily found on the internet.

Ayn Rand's "objectivism" is toxic vacuous nonsense. She can be held to exemplify it in her own miserable personal life and I suspect that she would insist that her life reflected her "philosophy."

Mindless materialism, dialectical or objectivist, has a gaping chasm where the human soul is neglected but does not die.
