That doesn't matter. I don't think Objectivism is true. But, I do think it's an interesting and enlightening perspective, a lens through which some things can be better understood. I think trying to actually apply it as the political basis of a country would be a terrible idea.

The bottom line is that class and class dynamics are real i societies. Avoiding that lens entirely is avoiding reality, to an extent.

High income engineers are members of a certain a class. Most of the prison population are members of a different class. This is obviously true.

All I am saying is that when you look at something like the role of prison, you should probably look at it from that perspective.
