As far as tyranny is concerned, I personally wish for the United States to never be tyrannical. This is primarily because I myself do not want to be a victim of tyranny. But I also value the freedom of others, not because I am an altruist, but because I think it is right and just for others to be happy and free. Why would we Objectivists want capitalism if it wasn't capitalism for everybody? Our interest in a free society comes from our adherence to the truth and beauty of the idea, not because we value other people's freedom more than our own.

The Laws of Biology, Ayn Rand made a small fortune writing on her philosophy of Objectivism and integrating its principles and values in her fiction works. She personally had a lot to gain from speaking truth that she held dear. We Objectivists are not being altruists by wanting to promote her ideas. It is in our own interests for others to be happy and lead good lives. We take a sense of pride from promoting principles we deem to be sound. The fact that these principles are helpful to others does not constitute altruism. Ayn Rand always said it is not wrong to help people, as long as you know that you are not morally obligated to and that helping others is not the primary purpose of your existence. Most people on this forum and in the institutions promoting Objectivism work for a living, or if they are young, plan on working for a living. Sharing Objectivism with others is something that interests us on the side. It is in our interest. Each of us has a selfish interest in helping others learn. Otherwise, it would be impossible for an Objectivist to become a teacher. As soon as you choose helping others as a value, it is in your interest to help others. But that comes after your decision to live primarily for yourself.
