No wonder, some reasonably suggest that she might have been an actual cryptocommunist as the "objectivism" she birthed is strikingly similar to whatever rationalisations communist regimes around the world made for their existence. The biggest selling point that second world country regimes had for the masses was the material abundance out of nowhere, second to "liberation" of common men from moral norms and duties. Back in twenties, the unwashed masses did genuinely believe that they are instating the communist system for their own rational self interest
