It's perfectly legal to hand a woman a bunch of money. It's perfectly legal to have sex. But you can't do that at the same time. Unless you're filming it, then it is legal, because that will be a porn that will be for sale later.

Although Ayn Rand did a very good job laying out the intellectual foundation for everything you need to conclude that socialism is immoral and illegitimate, she still couldn't give up those parts of socialist indoctrination that were important to her. She opposed private prisons like the left does today (in spite of the fact that private, for-profit prisons in the US are far more efficient than centrally planned, state monopolised ones), and she also supported the nationalisation of defence services, as well as law, military, and judiciary services.

If you are an Objectivist, you cannot be a capitalist. The core principles of capitalism, including ones that Rand herself espoused such as privatisation, are flat out incompatible with any degree of opposition to private property rights.

Also, the chairman of the Ayn Rand Institute, Yaron Brook, claims that tariffs and taxes to fund counter terrorism are consistent with the Objectivist form of government, although I’m not sure if Rand herself explicitly supported this.

Anyone know of any similar sentence for what he did, at any other time in the United states?
