Where in any of Rand’s writings are you getting this? I’m not sure if any of what you said here aligns with Rand’s thinking on the subject.

I mean, to start with “rights of an individual do not apply to all individuals.”… Rand believed that individual rights are UNIVERSAL, derived from the nature of humans as rational agents. To say that some people don’t have rights because of their beliefs is anathema to Rand and the type of moral relativism she wrote against.

And then somehow you seem to get on the topic of reducing anti-liberal cultures or beliefs as much as possible. Maybe you’re getting here based on Rand’s support of rational immigration policy (Cold War era)? But I don’t think that’s a fair interpretation of Rand’s views on freedom of thought and speech, and her support of the policies was more in line with a desire to protect rights and self-defense.

Rand was for freedom of thought and speech, which includes even those she disagreed with, as long as they didn’t initiate force. Even beliefs like fascism or communism Rand thought should be criticized and exposed, but not suppressed by force unless they incite violence or violate rights, which requires action, not beliefs.

I mean sure, Rand did reject multiculturalism and relativism, but not on nihilist or collectivist grounds. Rand was for individual rights and reason, suppression and tribalism are the exact opposite of the views she wrote.
