I can't think of a system of thought that hasn't condoned some evil at some time.

I have to correct myself. Objectivism has yet to condone any evil that I can think of. Peikoff notwithstanding.

You were right the first time. While there are certainly worse philosophies than objectivism, a philosophy that holds self-interest as a (perhaps the) key ethical tenet has the evil built in.
