    Yes, in her model there is nothing stopping the much more numerous workers from just taking her stuff.

      So I’m no a fan of her ideas. I have however read a lot of her stuff mostly to refute a friend who was a fan.

      That said she was very much against violence to achieve political or personal goals. She was however very ok with using money and economic power to achieve goals.

      So buying a business to fire someone you don’t like, shutting down a business to punish a town, etc. All completely ok in her book.

        She opposed physical violence because it would indeed be a tool for people to rip away the power her ideal man had, i.e economic or other coercive violence.

        Put another way, ayn rand would be Musks biggest possible fan right now and wouls absolutely loathe Luigi.
