Oldie & Goodie on Ayn Rand

Oldie & Goodie on Ayn Rand by MSW.  See the link.  I am currently reading Michael Harrington's final work, Socialism, where he explains the failure of the electorate to vote itself into the revolution of the proletariat as Marx expected.  It seems like these folks are arguing with the long dead Marx as well as mouthing the equally dead Rand.
