- OkayPhysicist 4y agoI already referenced Stirner, who is well placed in both the Egoist and Anarchist traditions. Ayn Rand, on the other hand, cannot be placed within the Anarchist tradition, as she is unabashedly pro-Capitalism. Like, not "a necessary evil" pro-Capitalism, "an unequivocal moral good" pro-Capitalism. And Capitalism, being defined as a hierarchy based on control of capital, is entirely mutually exclusive with Anarchism, the rejection of hierarchy.
