Finally, she and some of her followers are often perceived as being dogmatic, frequently ignoring published criticism of the system instead of responding to it. This is in part because many of them were young people excited by her novels and unlearned in philosophy; such people are not often aware of the complexities of their subject and prone to construe disagreement as ignorance. Furthermore, many of her supporters would not permit modifications or additions to her philosophical system, leading some to label Rand as a cult leader.

As much as I hate to admit it, anti-chan nailed it. You can't summarize Objectivism much better than that.

It was flawed to begin with. If Rand's novels are accurate representations of Objectivism, it's a childish philosophy that works in a world of gross exaggeration. If they aren't accurate, then why are there so many "Objectivist" Rand fags out there (where are the reasonable ones that distance themselves?), and why was Rand a bitch that deserved the end she received?

She was too stupid to realize that the Communism she so loathed didn't work because Marxism was a simplified theory itself. So she went and made something even more simplistic.

And then warped it to her own ends. Rand was far from rational about anything. Take a look at her personal life.
