The Anti-War Ayn Rand

In Roderick Long’s learned article today celebrating the centenaryof Ayn Rand’s birth several passages really stood out to me, especially this one:

“Rand . . . grasped the symbiotic relationship between militarism abroad and neo-fascist politics at home; in an era when many of her followers are enthusiastic supporters of American military intervention overseas, it’s worth remembering that Rand herself opposed U.S. involvement in World War I, World War II, Korea, and Vietnam.”
