Again, I've read enough to know what she's about, and it's not pretty.
I think there is little point in us engaging in further discourse to be honest - we don't even speak the same language. I don't speak bourgeois. Nor do I subscribe to people's philosophy (although in Rand's case, it is hardly worthy of being called "philosophy") who admire child rapists/killers.
I will leave you with this: Marx and Engels were scientific, objective, intellectual, analytical, and intelligent, revolutionary social scientists and economists. Rand was an egotistical, simple-minded, sociopathic, delusional Idealist and quite frankly, a not so intelligent reactionary, bat-shit crazy lunatic. Not to mention they were right on well, almost everything, and she was wrong on, well, just about everything. No comparison.

"Your very ideas are but the outgrowth of conditions of your bourgeois production and bourgeois property, just as your jurisprudence is but the will of your class, made into law for all, a will whose essential character and direction are determined by the economic conditions of the existence of your class." - Marx (addressing the bourgeois)
