    One can be both conservative and libertarian without being Objectivist. Donway's essay outlines Ayn Rand's moral case for capitalism succinctly. For a more complete treatment of the moral case for capitalism, I recommend dbhalling's Pendulum of Justice (https://www.amazon.com/Pendulum-Justi.... It makes me realize how long it has been since we saw dbhalling and khalling in the Gulch.

      Correct, Rand was all about Capitalism and those that understand put that on our list of things to conserve; but what pisses me off is when people that truly don't get it and even some that do, (if they thought about it) jump on the Sacrifice/non sacrifice bandwagon.
      I like to put it this way using Rand's own words, just spelled correctly (laughing): It's Not "Selfishness". It's CELFishness. Every cell in the body is totally responsible for it's own survival and Happiness and once those needs and desires are met, the value is automatically passed on. Much like bending over backwards to share the food you made with someone that drops in at supper time. That, in my observation is a part of being Human as apposed to being Humanoid, (Human-Void).
      That is not to say that anyone can't sacrifice what ever they want (so long as it does not harm others). That, just like free speech should be conserved as a right and not a requirement>
