Ayn Rand was an individualistic sociopath; have she said that any social system will eventually slide into dictatorship, she'd would have been probably right... I suppose that is "baked in the cake" of the human nature.

These anti-social views were shared by the likes of Thatcher and Reagan, who were saying (and now they probably say the same in hell) that "there is no society, only individuals", because united as a society we are strong, while as individuals we are weak and would easily accept - I don't know - vaccine mandates?

Heck! - even the rich @$$holes figured that out when they created the crime syndicate named "The WEF".

Even you, libertate got that figured out, since you are part of our substack community :-)... Ayn Rand would have told you to keep the distance...
