Atlas didn't Shrug

Been trying mostly successfully to read Atlas Shrugged this last week or so.
I would absolutely with no shadow of a doubt say that Ayn Rand is the worse person who has ever lived. Yes, worse than Idi Amin, Pol Pot, Hitler and Fritzl.
No-one quotes Idi Amin to justify being a pimp for child prostitutes.

Reading AS is like reading Palpatine's diary or Lex Luthor's biography. Repeat: The. Worst.

Seriously, read Red Son by Mark Millar. Yes, it's a Superman comic but basically it's about Kennedy surviving to old age and Milton Friedman being president of the United States of America.

Or read Look To Windward.
It's about a society with only one real law and no taboos to speak of but it's main characters (three aliens and an Avatar of an AI war veteran) have so much more Humanity than the sexually-weird non-characters Rand came up with and people are allowed to live by their own moral code.
The problem with Rand's philosophical justification for unrestrained capitalism is that one could use the same or similar arguments to justify child slavery, murder or political autocracies. In fact if anything a dictatorship would be the only form of government logically acceptable to Rand if one goes by her justification for allowing capitalist monopolies.
