Ayn Rand’s ideals are codified in her philosophy, Objectivism. This term is preferable to “Ayn Randian ideals.”
There are several things available on this subject via The Ayn Rand Institute:
Some words from Ayn Rand

Because to impose anything on anyone is the opposite of what rights stand for.
Why do rights suffer when they are annihilated? Because they are annihilated. Why is it bad for rights to be annihilated? I refer you to Atlas Shrugged, or Soviet Russia, or Nazi Germany, or your childhood bully (if you knew one).
