Seriously guys, has /lit/ got a Rand fetish or something?

It's a poweful and underappreciated work, definately deserves more respect, the only propaganda involved it leftist bashing and all of it can be seen as the uneducated twaddle that it is by just reading the book.

lulz, But really, don't judge Rand off of this book alone, read "Altruism as Appeasement" or some other interesting essays by her from "Voice of Reason."

She authored some reallllyyyy thought-provoking material, condemning both conservatives and liberals.

Because that isn't just a really poor phrazing of Nietzsche's philosophy.
