FYI - I have read Atlas Shrugged 5 times, The fountainhead 3 time, Anthem twice and We the living twice. I have read the Life and times of Ayn Rand and everything I know about her life and times.

What you seem forget is that her books are idealistic, there is no Galts Gulch and that we have to deal with reality and not an idealized notion that was written half a century ago.

We have to deal with life and politics in a way that will work, not in some ancient fantasy that never happened but would have been great if it actually could have happened that way.

I am a realist as was Ayn Rand. She would recognize that times change and a novel is just a novel and not a reality.

  However, there is an exception. The Twin Oaks Intentional Community in Virginia was originally modeled on B.F. Skinner's utopian novel Walden Two. Curiously, a group of Walden Two aficionados in Mexico did the same thing.
