Honestly, not that bad

It's insane how often her views are caricatured to mean "helping people bad".
Love her or hate her, those Donahue interviews are pure gold

She’s ok, but her books are kinda lame, if you want to just lay out political philosophy don’t torture it into a novel, just write your ideas

Now, you can’t get anymore based than this.

Her books are boring and awfully written, but her philosophy essays are actually fairly decent.
I believe she's trying to solve Nietzsche's legacy of defining an objective philosophical framework with the absence of God. She never recognized Nietzsche's influence on her tho, and i believe she failed in what she intended to do, but it is still interesting to read.

In this day and age, Ayn Rand's novels and philosophical works are a must have for any aspiring dandy seeking the latest in in self conscious ideological kitsch and contrarian perversion. See, I would be another Marxist and advocate of heterodox economics if not for the fact that I find sexually dominant neoliberal women erotically irresistible, women like Ayn Rand, Ms. Thatcher, Hillary Clinton, come on, they all look like dominatrixes. I have managed to enter into an anachronistic, high modernist bourgeoisie mentality, at once New York-Chicagoan midcentury academic, Mickey Spillane pulp knucklehead and 90s techlibertarian california entrepreneur with just a dash of William Burroughs libertarianism.

Reading The Fountainhead right now (first time reading any Rand). The story itself is good. The actual mechanics of her writing don't seem that special. I get the impression that if she hadn't shilled her ideology her work would be remembered more pleasantly. I get the vibe that people who criticize her work either haven't read it or have sour grape syndrome when it comes to any contemplation of people with talented or domineering personalities.
