About Objectivism and Objectivists
Although it has other meanings in philosophy, here we are talking about Objectism as the name chosen by Ayn Rand for her philosophical system. Rand wanted to develop a philosophy that was all about living freely. The central tenets of her philosophical system can be stated as: Reality is, independent of our desires or prejudices; the best means for comprehending reality is thorugh our mind and reasoning abilities; that morality is best judged by what promotes human happiness and survival; political and social harmony are best achieved through freedom and voluntary associations.
Cult of Ayn Rand & the Worship of Fascist Supermen
Objectivism and Libertarianism owe a great deal to the writings of Ayn Rand and both are typically associated with belief in expansive degrees of personal liberty. It is arguable, though, that Ayn Rand's writings exhibit a disturbing fascination of and interest in more fascist attitudes towards humanity and human social relations.
