 There is still too much Rand in Objectivism. That is why there are the "orthodox" and the "liberal" Objectivists or whatever you call them. Because of the "cult of personality" or "persona" Objectivism cannot become an independent philosophy. Oscar Wilde made a remark about literature which I think is comparable to this. "Dans la literature il faut toujours tuer son pere." (In literature one must always kill one's father.) Objectivists need to kill Rand in order for the philosophy to live, otherwise it will stagnate.
