I am not your biological cousin, but it’s as close to fact as the other misstatements. Your second statement is neither accurate nor adding anything new to the conversation. Wrapping this one up Post-socialism 3, Socialism 0.

1. I’m not your cousin. 2. Social sciences are not all about social relationships, that’s factually incorrect.

The more you know.

It’s individualism, reason, and non-contradiction. Fits quite nicely with the social science of Stanford’s most famous professor, Adam Smith. In my career as a social scientist I never heard someone imply a school of philosophy could somehow be contrarian to all of social sciences…

One more thing (and this is the human writing, not the robot) - to answer your question, it is about self, rationality (reason), freedom, and it sees those as derived from individualism. One book by the founder, Rand, was titled “The Virtue of Selfishness“.

Yes, great question. Rational egoism is a related but broader category of ethical thought, whereas Objectivism is a more comprehensive philosophical system (ethics, metaphysics, aesthetic, etc.) but within ethics would be a type of rational egoism, I‘d say. Learn more: aynrand.org

FYI, if your idea of fighting fascism is making up a fake backstory to protect the “Antifa” snipers and other assassins who murder the innocent for trying to peacefully discuss politics it’s a strong sign you’re the exact type of supporter of domestic terrorism the FBI is currently targeting…

Nazis were nationalist socialists, Facists were socialists with the iron fist of George Soros. That was not the original Antifa logo.

The original Antifa logo are the flags of Antifaschistische Aktion (Antifascist Action).
