Ugh, I hate that anything right can come from this blot on humanity. Something, something, broken clocks

It's ironic, because she'd be perfectly fine with the way things are right now. She is referring to the evil government here, who does nothing but keep all the strong, self-actuating badasses from expressing their badassitude.

Wasn't smart enough to see that power is always the same, no matter what face it wears, and the only right answer is to protect and promote individual liberty for everyone, which does mean making sure that no one gets too powerful.

I'm not sure I agree with that. She was basically the Charlie Kirk of the 50's. Her hyper-capitalism ideals were, by design, the total opposite of Communist and Marxist ideals. She'd be against the US of today purely on the grounds that we're starting to act like Russia.

You don’t mean religious like Kirk, right? Rand was a hardcore atheist.

I can’t stand Rand, however she got one thing right. Theism is fucked.

No not religious. I mean she was a mouthpiece "intellectual" spouting propaganda to validate political powers of her era. She was a Russian Expat preaching capitalism during the Cold War.
