So, you abide by it, since you claim "fascism is grounded in reality?"  
Anyway, this metaphysics is not tautologous, but axiomatic, in the 
development of Objectivism.  However, if you don't buy this axiom, at

personal conclusions about human nature.

I'm sorry you think that way.  Does it bother you being a whore, taking 
blindly, without a second thought to your pride?  If you had any, you'd 
realize that the moral _is_ the practical.
