"Ayn Rend was a closet communist" [Citation needed]

I agree her abhorrent message was "the strong subjugate the weak through natural right", but Ayn Rand very clearly believed that poor workers were the weak and rich white-collar businessmen were the strong that deserved to subjugate them. That's completely different than Lenin's view. There are many flavors of asshole and just because both Rand and Lenin were assholes does not mean they saw eye to eye at all.
