"The Fascist New Frontier" by Ayn Rand

Ayn Rand at the Ford Hall Forum - Lesson 3 of 19

Course playlist:    • Ayn Rand at the Ford Hall Forum  

In this 1963 talk, Ayn Rand offers her assessment of President Kennedy’s signature New Frontier program. Rand identifies a fundamental principle that Kennedy’s program shares with the fascist states of twentieth-century Europe: the “subordination and sacrifice of the individual to the collective.” This principle, Rand argues, is the “ideological root of all statist systems, in any variation, from welfare statism to a totalitarian dictatorship,” and was ubiquitous in the political dialogue of 1960s America.
