Ben JB:

As much as I hate the “Nietzsche led to the Nazis” line of thinking, I have to admit that certain Nietzschean formulations are very congenial (that not necessarily causative) to a Nazi worldview. The difference between the Nietzsche-Nazi and Rand-asshole connections is that I can think of Nietzsche leading to other avenues of thought, whereas Rand’s philosophy seems to lead only to narcissistic assholes as a consequence.
