To accept death while there are still battles left to be fought is cowardice, so yes, I'll say it:

Ayn Rand is to capitalism what David Koresh was, at least in legend, to religion.

For those not familiar with what we’re discussing:

When I said, “You do know the answer to that question was to die, don’t you?” I was referring to Spartacus. Ayn Rand did not advocate suicide. However, I would suggest that for these industry titans to withdraw from the world and its implementation of their technology is analogous to suicide for those who struggled so hard to prosper.
