"For the New Intellectual" writing, Rand postulates the desirability of the identity and actualization of the soul through individualism versus collectivism. This has nothing to do with politics but remains personal, subjective, and as connected to a psychological process of each person.

Thus, Rand states in "For the New Intellectual" the psychological processes connected to the development of the human soul connected with individualism versus that of collectivism as best fitting a laissez-faire capitalism-based society.
