A rather surprisingly negative review from Whittaker Chambers. Apparently the Marxist ideology that he once loved wasn’t completely washed out of his system.

Actually, he understood that materialism via Ayn Rand style is just as evil as Marxisim

My opinion of Rand comes from only a general knowledge of her. From what I understand, Rand seems to oppose Marxism, but her opposition to it can only be superficial.

When the origin of morality is man, its violation and its destruction will have the same origin.

I don’t know what philosophical position Rand took regarding the U.S. Constitution, but it seems that any claim to agree with it would necessarily come from ignorance or dishonesty on her part.

Actually, Chambers realized that Rand's atheistic materialism was no more valuable than Marx's atheistic materialism.

Rand's heroes are selfish, barren fornicators. Like herself.
