Recently I've been reading a book titled "Without a Prayer: Ayn Rand and the Close of Her System," by John W. Robbins. I picked the book up after reading an online article titled "Shrugging Off Ayn Rand," by Michael Prescott, which I though was very interesting and informative.

I don't agree with everything in John Robbin's book (he unconvincingly argues in favor of theism), but there is a particular chapter which I thought was very well thought out, and which I feel demonstrates the biggest problem with Objectivist political theory.

I believe that one of the best ways to determine the truth of any idea is to try and logically disprove it, and to only accept it as true if it can withstand such attacks. So with that in mind, I'd like to discuss the issues presented in this chapter and see if anyone can provide any additional insight into the arguments John Robbin presents.

The chapter can be read here:
