Is the Objectivist Party truely Objectivist?

As a critic of Objectivism, I was kinda angry to find out that my imagination was right — there is an Objectivist Party there is an Objectivist Party. However, after looking at the website I had to ask the question, "Is it truely Objectivist?". I think not, however, it is a capitalist party.

The principals of the Objectivist Party are:
  • I. INDIVIDUALS HAVE A RIGHT TO LIFE
  • II. INDIVIDUALS HAVE A RIGHT TO THEIR OWN THOUGHTS
  • III. INDIVIDUALS HAVE A RIGHT TO THEIR OWN PROPERTY
  • IV. INDIVIDUALS HAVE A RIGHT TO PROTECT THEMSELVES
--- Objectivist Party

Okay, it is capitalist — even free-market capitalism. However, in the principals never mention a policy that would shout "THIS IS OBJECTIVIST!". Sure, reading some of the STATE policies their is hints of Objectivism, but that is national.

I want to know what you think, are you going to defend the party by proving it is Objectivist?

THE END
