- vitno 15y agoI don't agree with either philosophy, but they definitely aren't the same.
- lhnz 15y agoDo you really believe that she was more of a political activist for the Tea Party movement than a philosophising fiction-writer? Not everybody that enjoys Ayn Rand is a Tea Party activist. I am certain that there are many that found the self-confidence to live their lives freely and form their own businesses in her books. On top of that, her philosophy may be wrong but the conversations it sparks are often gratifying for the intellectually curious.
