I emailed Dr Peikoff as to whether there is a objectivist manifesto/constitution and whether there is a political objectivist  party in the US or anywhere else and if not why not  -and got an email back saying tersely: No. ! No explanation as to why there is not such was given and it has prompted me to wonder whether in fact objectivism is nothing more than an intellectual ivory tower construct that cannot be translated into political reality as its critics claim.There is certainly a marked reluctance on the part of objectivist to step into the political fray leaving  liberals and leftist statists to rule unchallenged.
