Ayn Rand Institute: National Socialists and other Jew Haters like von Brunn are on the Left

Racism is a form of collectivism; the Right wing is individualist

A representative from ARI, Dr. Harry Binswanger, describes for Glenn how it is that fascists like von Brunn came to be identified with the Right.

"How did it happen that you look at people that are Nazis and you say that those are right wing? It doesn't make any sense whatsoever!"

"There was a deal made between the Communists and the Nazis in the '30s where they each agreed to the define themselves as the opposite of the other... and you rule out any other possibilities such as freedom."

Note - Harry Binswanger, Ph.D. in philosophy, teaches for the Objectivist Academic Center. He was an associate of Ayn Rand and is editor of The Ayn Rand Lexicon and the revised edition of Ayn Rand’s Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology. He is the author of The Biological Basis of Teleological Concepts and the founding editor/publisher of The Objectivist Forum. More information Ayn Rand Institute. (H/t TPM)
