I just finished reading pic related and I actually find myself agreeing with themes and ideas. So I was wondering what /lit/ thought of it, or even just the works of Ayn Rand in general.

What themes or ideas?
>>8098573
libertarianism, individualism, anarchy-capitalism, objectivism
I've only read the fountainhead. I liked it a lot. The hate you see on here is just a meme. Everyone actually likes it.

That you should look after yourself only and that stuff like rape and torture is OK only if you can get away with it and enjoy it (people eventually die anyway and they are scum).

Ayn Rand isn't a libertarian. Objectivism is a totalist orientation which condemns altruism and other things she viewed as vices. If you want to be an objectivist you have to live your life in a very narrow manner and follow a set of rules.

It's just a stepping stone your brain uses while outgrowing your hedonic tendencies
