What is the basis of this claim? And what is a "hard liner
objectivist" anyway? It can't be Piekoff/ARI Objectivists because
they stay away from the LP. So you must mean people who believe that
capitalism can't flourish when defended by one-liners and statistical
one-upsmanship, people who believe in egoism and individualism and who
believe that, to be a stable system, capitalism requires wide-spread
_moral_ acceptance and commitment from a large segment of the
population.
It seems to me that having the LP-fringe include nihilists, the MBLA,
socialist-anarchists, and other such kooks is a much bigger problemm
than objectivists.
