Ayn Rand was not libertarian. She herself said that many times. And as a libertarian - we don’t want her.
Anyway, tired of that idea of libertarians as conservatives small enough to kick.
Bailing out big companies is not libertarian. Considering them above the law isn’t that, too. While Ayn Rand was fine with both and kinda thought that there are better and worse people, more and less useful, and the more useful must be catered for, bending laws included. She was basically an inverted bolshevik, where for those guys all economical problems could be solved having one unchecked state-corporation with instead of many, for her all problems could be solved with many unchecked corporations.
Also calling USA before and during depression a completely free economy would be kinda insincere. It’s also not libertarian to shoot at strikers.
