Ayn Rand is the only political philosopher who can claim even partially to be the heir of Nietzsche. Everything else is reactionary cope.

This would be a good post if good posts were judged on how similar they are to D+ essays from an Introduction to Philosophy course at a Community College.

Nietzsche's sole concern was with individual genius and ambition, not with God, family and the nation, let alone the St*te. Hope that helps.

Didn't help, because that was one concern, not "sole". You might want to read all of Nietzsche's books before being a retard on 4chan... Going to have to change the D+ to D-. Yikes.

What a weak reply. But Nietzsche had other concerns too! Actually, no, he didn't. His sole focus was to allow the higher type (genius) to flourish by removing the limitations imposed on them by the public, and Objectivism is the only political philosophy that shares at least an approximate objective. There is zero case for nationalism, antisemitism or (God forbid) t*talitarianism drawn from any of Nietzsche's writings.

She was a comment hack who became a free market hack who lived out her dying days as a socialist hack.

Her philosophy struggles to overcome its time and place of conception. This isn't a comment on its in/validity, but it has clearly failed to achieve escape velocity. Its this fundamentally mid 20th century American product that struggles to adapt itself to the present because of its insistence on being a completely solved equation, a "closed system". That is fine, and makes sense for a philosophy calling itself "Objectivism", but it also means there will be no innovators, rejuvenators, or modernizers, you accept the system as it was laid down originally or not at all. Finally, because of its individualistic nature, and insistence on achieving influence purely through the peaceful use of reason to propagate its ideas it isn't really "In the game", its philosophy for the non-competing because ultimately civilization is a group sport and clearly reason doesn't scale very far beyond the individual level and practically every other ideology has pragmatically accounted for this on some level. Shouting "stop, be reasonable, A=A" to a frenzied crowd of propaganda addled zealots yields limited results.
Result being a scattered minority of powerless individuals with near-zero influence that are otherwise extremely certain that they are correct about nearly everything.
