Outstanding insight.
Rand=Worship of Capital, Marx=Worship of State.
Each chooses an alternative god and consequently derogates man.
It was for good reason that Bill Buckley threw Rand out of civilized conservative circles.
Bill Buckley did nothing of the sort. She got herself disinvited to the Conservative movement by being personally insufferable - argumentative, didactic, and profoundly anti-religious. Buckley supports now (and supported then) the free market as a means of economic organization no less than Rand. However, the founder of National Review, like Kilpatrick, Chambers, and others of the same generation, recognized that that human needs had dimensions exteral to commerce, spirituality chiefly among them. Love of Freedom does not constitute "Capital worship". There are many other things to love, and most people (passe Ms. Rand) choose to love them also.
