Maybe... just maybe.. he wrote that so people would read Ayn Rand and understand how her writings reflect what's wrong with American philosophy/psychology? She did seem to be a pretty huge influence. Know thy enemy!... ..?

You read Anthem or Atlas Shrugged and you think, OK, she's conveying the power of individual creativity. Then you read The Virtue of Selfishness and you realize she's the fucking anti-Christ, lol.
I mean, she was a genius, with a lot of great ideas, unfortunately the most influential involve a complete disregard of altruism. She provides philosophical justification for corporate greed and screwing the working poor.

Sad...
Basically, in a nutshell, buried under a lot of rhetoric about individual freedom, Ayn Rand says greed is good.
You can blame our economic downfall on Ayn Rand's Virtue of Selfishness and the neo-cons and wall street fat cats that quote her like the Bible.

Quite sad.
If memory serves... she pushed the idea that if you CAN take power, you SHOULD... and you would be justified in doing so.
Basically the American mantra right now, eh?

this says it best, really.
So what, and who, was Ayn Rand for and against? The best way to get to the bottom of it is to take a look at how she developed the superhero of her novel, Atlas Shrugged, John Galt. Back in the late 1920s, as Ayn Rand was working out her philosophy, she became enthralled by a real-life American serial killer, William Edward Hickman, whose gruesome, sadistic dismemberment of 12-year-old girl named Marion Parker in 1927 shocked the nation. Rand filled her early notebooks with worshipful praise of Hickman. According to biographer Jennifer Burns, author of Goddess of the Market, Rand was so smitten by Hickman that she modeled her first literary creation — Danny Renahan, the protagonist of her unfinished first novel, The Little Street — on him.
What did Rand admire so much about Hickman? His sociopathic qualities: “Other people do not exist for him, and he does not see why they should,” she wrote, gushing that Hickman had “no regard whatsoever for all that society holds sacred, and with a consciousness all his own. He has the true, innate psychology of a Superman. He can never realize and feel ‘other people.’”
