    Ayn Rand is a dumbass that encourages atomization of humanity, when humans are a social species. Placing the self over the whole is where we get fascism.

      Where she states about atomozation? In her books her heroes communicate with each other, drinking and go lazy. They can’t communicate with people not their kind, 'cause they get real bored. I doubt you can talk and dance with people you are not interested in.

      Yet again, they don’t put themselves above others, they mostly don’t judge at all. They state facts and that’s it, no hostility involved.

          All she was rooting for, do what you like, if it respects people right to live. There is no atomatization subtext in her works. If you can provide quotes with explanation, than we can discuss it

            Atomization, ie everyone is capable of being entirely separated from society. That’s her subtext, it’s individualistic to the point of absurdity.

              Damn, I was reading wrong, sry.

              She doesn’t propagate atomism, it’s always about thinking. If you feel better without communicating, why should you? In case of fountainhead main heroes feel better when communicating with same-minded for example. So she writes about social aspects

                  Please, provide a quote from the book with chapter and a page which propagates atomism in a fascist manner. Or at least explain the situation from the book

                    You described it yourself. Her point is to try to remove humans from the rest of society, and instills a superiority complex over the outgroup. She was a deranged fascist.
