Every dictator is a mystic, and every mystic is a potential dictator. A mystic craves obedience from men, not their agreement. He wants them to surrender their consciousness to his assertions, his edicts, his wishes, his whims, as his consciousness is surrendered to theirs.... There is only one state that fulfills the mystic's longing for infinity, non-causality, non-identity: death. -- Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged (pp.969-970).---- Now, for my take: These pacifists probably think they are pseudo-Buddhas, above the fray. Well then, stand back, would ya?

Ayn's philosophy is truth revealed.
It is reviled deeply and universally by Leftists, Socialists, Communists, Clintoons, Government, Indoctination Education Institutions, et. al.
You know she's got it!
