|
| Dans ''Virtue of Selfishness'', Ayn Rand élabore une théorie de ce qu’elle appelle « éthique » :

| | |
| :Since reason is man’s basic means of survival, that which is proper to the life of a rational being is the good; that which negates, opposes or destroys it is the evil.[http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/standard_of_value.html]
| |
| | |
| Mais comment déterminer ce qui est « proper » et ce qu’il ne l’est pas ? Blank out, comme elle dirait, c’est un peu de l’anti-concept à la « [[dignité humaine]] » (« ce qui est digne pour un homme »).
| |
| | |
| Avec, naturellement, le même genre de dérives absurdes :
| |
| | |
| :I like to think of fire held in a man’s hand. Fire, a dangerous force, tamed at his fingertips. I often wonder about the hours when a man sits alone, watching the smoke of a cigarette, thinking. I wonder what great things have come from such hours. When a man thinks, there is a spot of fire alive in his mind—and it is proper that he should have the burning point of a cigarette as his one expression.

| Ayn Rand défendait un État « minimal », financé volontairement, mais néanmoins coercitif de par son monopole sur un territoire donné [https://www.lewrockwell.com/1970/01/roy-a-childs-jr/objectivism-and-the-state-an-open-letter-to-ayn-rand/].

| === Ayn Rand et les libéraux ===
| |
| | |
| Ayn Rand se montrait extrêmement critique des [[libéraux]] [http://economiccollapsenews.com/2016/12/21/ayn-rand-didnt-like-libertarians-austrians-or-milton-friedman/]. Ainsi à propos de [[Milton Friedman]] :
| |
| | |
| : I saw five minutes of it [Free to Choose]; that was enough for me, because I know [Milton] Friedman’s ideas. He is not for capitalism; he’s a miserable eclectic. He’s an enemy of Objectivism, and his objection is that I bring morality into economists, which he thinks should be amoral. I don’t always like what public television puts on, but they have better programs than ‘Free to Choose’ – the circus, for instance.
| |
| | |
| À propos des libéraux en général :
| |
| | |
| :They’re not defenders of capitalism. They’re a group of publicity seekers who rush into politics prematurely, because they allegedly want to educate people through a political campaign, which can’t be done. Further, their leadership consists of men of every persuasion, from religious conservatives to anarchists. Most of them are my enemies: they spend their time denouncing me, while plagiarizing my ideas. Now it’s a bad sign for an allegedly pro-capitalist party [Libertarian Party] to start by stealing ideas.
| |
| | |
| :I don’t think plagiarists are effective. I’ve read nothing by libertarians (when I read them, in the early years) that wasn’t my ideas badly mishandled – that is, the teeth pulled out of them – with no credit given. I didn’t know whether to be glad that no credit was given, or disgusted. I felt both. They are perhaps the worst political group today, because they can do the most harm to capitalism, by making it disreputable. I’ll take Jane Fonda over them.

| Bien que se réclamant d’un État minimal financé volontairement, Ayn Rand ne semblait avoir aucun problème à voter pour divers candidats plus ou moins [[socialistes]] (à commencer par FDR), qui ont tous, sans exception durant sa vie, accroît le pouvoir de l’État américain, non seulement en contradiction flagrante avec le [[Droit]] libéral, mais même avec toute notion randienne d’État se limitant à faire respecter le droit, et même en violation constante de la propre Constitution de l’État.

| « In his campaign the issues that he supported included a free market system, a return to the gold standard, the abolition of the Federal Reserve, an end to corporate welfare, the abolition of the FCC, a foreign policy of non-interventionism, and abolishing all victimless crimes. »
