Alisa Zinovyevna Rosenbaum, pen name Ayn Rand, was a Russian born American author. She's been quite influential in the american lolbertarian movement and is kind of a Patron Saint for many rightoids. And is not only limited to the US, I've seen many Ayn Rand books in sale in Brazilian Bookstores, they have translations of all of her works from Atlas Shrugged to her essays like “The Virtue of Selfishness”.
Rand was never considered a good writer, dramacels, what do you guys think of this lady?

I'm ashamed to admit I fell for the NPC "Ayn Rand bad, evil person, bad writer, NOT a real philosopher, hypocrite that lived off welfare in her old age" line without putting any thought in it for most of my life, until I randomly stumbled onto a twitter thread about her by one of those spergy gay New Yorker rightwing microcelebrities. I would have linked it here but the coward deleted it.
