Ayn Rand (Alisa Rosenbaum) escaped the Russian Revolution and came to the West and spent her life warning us about the Collectivist ideology. She could see we, in USA, had the same cancer of Collectivist ideology here as a constant and growing threat that could ruin our American culture. ….The same ideology as the Marxist Bolshevik extremism, the Soviet ideology, that consumed her fatherland. I suggest reading her novels and her non-fictional works to see how she similarly to you, strived to explain the true simplicity of the Political Spectrum, and to dissolve the confusing complex ways in which the Left/Right nomenclature is misused. I have not read your book so please excuse me if you’ve already expounded on Ayn Rand. She was not a Conservative, but self-named “Objectivist” — and not so much one I can champion as being “mostly correct”, but her warnings about the future were spot-on. One funny thing about her, writing in the 30s/40s/50s, she thought of quantum physics as being “mysticism” — the result of some kind of wrong thinking collective mindset? I don’t know but she probably didn’t realize how well quantum mechanics turned out to work to bring about solid-state electronic artifacts. It just goes to show us, people are individuals and like the Political Spectrum you cannot assign a multitude of variables to have a unique place on a single dimensional line, or to pigeon hole an individual with simple definitions.

Rod,
If you are familiar with Rand/Objectivism, you’ll like the book because you’re well-prepared.
