There's no effort to put any of this in dialog with Ayn Rand here, who was notoriously critical of collectivist identity like nation, race, ethnicity, and religion . I think Rand would have been critical of this recent resurgence of ethnonationalism, and especially state efforts to buttress it with policy. This is the conversation that should have been had here at the Atlas Society.
Why are you bringing up race in regard to those novels? It portrays "man" at his best. Race isn't a factor. The novels never extol race as a factor for them being good.
Ouch, i Missed the live stream 😢. Always wonderful to hear these great interviews.

Many white nationalists like _The Fountainhead_ and _Atlas Shrugged_ because these novels portray white men at their best.

@@kingfisher2135 Because race, like sex, is not incidental. Why are you saying "man" at his best? Why not "humans"? Same reason.
