As a former Objectivist, I know it is very much part of her philosophy
that there are legitimate functions for a state. I see no point in
claiming her philosophy leads to a conclusion that the philosophy quite
explicitly excludes. In Objectivist terms it is a form of theft to
steal Objectivist merits for a set of ideas explicitly opposed to the
relevant parts of Objectivism. How is your discussion group helped by
this mis-appropriation of value?
