@xianc78 @icedquinn I agree, I was always more into the Rothbard school than the Rand at my core, although I think there's value in ideas taken from both.
I think there's value that can be taken from Communist, Anarchist, and even Fascist authors to an extent. You just need to make sure you don't let your ideology become too singular, and retain the critical thinking to parse the good from the bad.
