Yes, and she repeatedly dismissed any non-Objectivists pursuing minimal government as anarchists. Anyone not under her sway simply couldn't be correct. Like the GOP, she talked a fine game about capitalism, but that is all.
I'm not getting into a cite game on things Rand repeated so often that she said she was tired of people asking her about them. She repeatedly dismissed libertarianism as nothing more than a dressed-up leftist anarchist movement.
Unless you have something more substantive to ask than "Oh, yeah?", we're done here.
I have read a lot of Rand, both fiction and non-fiction, and never seen her say it once. Can you please point me to a source to read so I can correct my understanding of Rand's views?
I read some. I found Rand trashing libertarians, but I did not find her trashing minimal government. Do you have any source on Rand not being an advocate of minimal government, as you claimed she is not?
Here is a source where she does advocate minimal govt:
> The only proper purpose of a government is to protect man’s rights, which means: to protect him from physical violence. A proper government is only a policeman
