1. Actually, there is
Libertarianism is the idea of limited government. It can go as far as pure anarchy, or it could be just turning over government-run operations to corporations. It's a spectrum, like Socialism or Democracy.

Objectivism is Rand's new name for an old philosophy: Might makes right, and altruism is harmful to our species. Pure social darwinism. If someone is rich, then they deserve all that money as well as yours. Suck it up and take it like a man. Religion is bad because God not only doesn't exist, but Religion makes people altruistic, which is bad. Avoid empathy, sympathy and kindess, replace with confidence, intelligence and luck.
