I know Ayn Rand hated Kant's philosophy, but I see so many parallels between the two. Where's the contention?
more like 'rand vs cunt '

No, she isn't.
I've never really read Ayn Rand but what could the similarities possibly be? Kant believes you can discover the universal morality thru reason. Does Rand even believe in a universal morality? Kant also thinks that you can't know anything about objects in and of themselves, separate from sense perception. Seems like the exact opposite of "objectivism."

For the first one, yes. See, this is where Stirner smacks the shit out of Rand. Because Rand doesn't believe there's actually a rational conflict between individuals. If you're standing athwart someone better than you, you're behaving irrationally. Even if a worker might see actually better wages through a strike, or supporting an income tax, that is 'irrational' to Rand. The Native Americans, if they were rational, would have quietly self-interned themselves to reservations, if they were acting in the name of rational self-interest. Through reason we can 'objectively' know these things.

This is what people who care about freedom ideologically believe.
>critiquing pure reason

Do you unnironicaly think that you are being "escorted by police into the office to work as a doctor" in Europe? Are Americans realy THAT retarded? You are even free to work as a fucking private doctor if you want in I think every country in Europe.
