She said being a selfish prick that would rather destroy society than contribute to a collective was good. This led to many people actually believing that and allowing things like Wall Street raping the economy, outsourcing industry, open borders, etc. It also led to the rise of more libertarian types that want no restrictions on destructive personal behavior.

How to argue against objectivism:
1. Objectivism is basically just empiricism
2. Objectivists argue that the free market with government(s) gotten out of the way lead to the best economic outcomes and economic-scientitic-industrial-etc. growth
3. Government-funded research is repeatedly found to be the source of nearly all of the greatest improvements in technologies that increase wealth and productivity increases
4. Objectivism's philosophical tenets/presuppositions, or at the least the one it puts forward in 2 are in direct contradiction with observed empirical reality
5. Objectivism is inconsistent and incorrect and its creator/genesis thinker was wrong
