Where is your objection? She formed her philosophy after experiencing a collectivist dystopia. Her family’s business was nationalised. That is part and parcel of such extreme collectivist socio-economics and thus enamoured by hyperindividualist extreme counterpart.
Lol! The US nationalizes stuff all the damn time - Obama essentially nationalized the auto industry after the 2008 crash (right before handing it back to the billionaire parasites after their debt had been shouldered by the US people).
Yet I don’t see anybody calling the US “collectivist.”
The military can be argued “collectivist”. I’ve never been in the military but many vets say that in the bootcamp they pretty much remove the personality out of you so that you think with the team and follow chain of command. And often, teams are punished based on the mistakes of one person in the group.

Dystopia in her experience. The peasants going to uni would have had a different perspective.

How much of US economy is nationalised compared to the Soviet Union?
That’s only relevant if you insist on calling the US military “collectivist” - will you be attempting to make such an argument or not?
If you don’t, your attempt to conflate nationalization with collectivization falls flat on it’s face - so get on with it.

And to you, define “collectivism”.
So do you and your fellow Rand-cultists normally argue for “collectivist” militaries to be dismantled?
Did I say I agree with Rand?
