As intelligent human beings we should be able to keep two concepts in mind at the same time:

1. The far right, including the current regime, is evil.

2. The far left is evil.

That you constantly see the need to coax Objectivists away from fascism doesn’t bode well for these Objectivists, especially since I think you’re correct in your concerns.

I used to think “the world is a mess but the one thing that gives me hope is that there are Objectivists.”

But nowadays I think “the world is a mess but the one thing that gives me hope is that there is still a Stewart Margolis in the world, stubbornly and wisely refusing to let it go.”
