The Authoritarian Right – Winter 2026

"Before I found Ayn Rand I was in my first year of university, really wasn't enjoying life too much. I didn't know what I wanted to do after university. My one passion was politics and it's safe to say my views lined up, not with Thomas Jefferson, but more Bernie Sanders at the time. A flatmate of mine...convinced me to give Ayn Rand a go. As a result of reading Ayn Rand I've gained a new found confidence in myself. ...I have a new found appreciation for life I simply never had before and it's always improving."

"Before I came across her philosophy I didn't really know what I wanted to do specifically after school.... after reading Ayn Rand I understood how aimless I had been before. Reading The Fountainhead helped me improve in my own thinking and my own actions. So I started [ARI Live Courses] to get a better understanding of Objectivism, to improve my own life and to be more aware of the goals and values that I have."

"I have been on a journey of discovery and growth for a year and a half now. Every day here has been a gem of an experience, a priceless opportunity that I will treasure forever. In this time, I have plunged into the depths of Objectivism, a philosophy that initially seemed clear, but revealed more complex and fascinating layers as I progressed."
