Never liked her; Stirner was at least interesting to read.

Rand went full retard with it.
Her parents got their shit confiscated by soviets, so her answer to commie collectivism is selfishness elevated to the most insane degree(99% of human civilization literally collapses in Atlas Shrugged so her little village of industrialists can have their power trip).
You can't build any sort of society with that sort of mentality.

Then how come Americans are more charitable than the "generous welfare paying" nordics? If you see an episode of extreme makeover, the entire neighborhood comes together to build houses for someone out of luck. That would NEVER happen in Europe.

I read a lot of Rand in the height of my atheistic days. The thing she was really, really good at was describing the end game of socialistic/altruistic economies. However she didn't really understand interpersonal relationships and love. If you were finding a hiring manager for your factory, Ayn Rand would be a great candidate. But as a philosopher, she polluted her axioms with her own personal compulsions. She was also a narcissist and a charlatan to a degree. Finding out that she herself was participating in adultery, while romanticizing it in Atlas Shrugged, was very off-putting. I mean the book itself was pretty terrible; all of her fiction is, so I've heard. Most of her good stuff is in the essays and theoretical exposition, pic related.
