You don't have to be a fascist to think fascist thoughts. I was saying Rand espoused a fascist philosophy. People endorsing Objectivism are endorsing a line of thought that's fascist in nature. That doesn't necessarily make them fascists. Could be they're merely ignorant.
Nice attempt to try to move to something defensible. I'll quote your first attempt before following you. "To say that if you think things Ayn Rand thinks are bad, you're essentially killing yourself? We call that fascism."
> People endorsing Objectivism are endorsing a line of thought that's fascist in nature.
Oh really? Where in Objectivism do folks use the power of the state to control others? Where in objectivism do folks assume that the state will take care of their needs? Or, is the connection that you think that objectivists dress better than standard leftist totalitarians?
Actually, we don't. We don't call it racism, fundamentalism, or homophobia for that matter. Unless, of course, you think that those words mean "you're poopy-head and I don't like you".
I realize that you think that calling someone "fascist" is a winning "argument", but that doesn't mean that all of your opponents are fascists.
