Both are influential for conservatives, but Thatcher had power and used it to cause great harm and is arguably far more influential for it. Rand was just some asshole by comparison :thinkin-lenin:
Thatcher destroyed unions, wrecked social support networks and made education about LGBT issues in schools impossible for decades. Her actions have lasting, catastrophic impact on the lives of the British working class until this day.
Ayn Rand was also a repulsive human being, but she was just some rando we'd today see in the dunk tank. Her garbage ideology definitely influenced a ton of invisible hand idiots, and she deserves all the dunks she can get, but if i had to choose on which of their graves to pee, i'd pick Maggie (ofc the correct thing to do is pee on both of their graves).
But Ayn Rand is annoying and when I see her books in libraries/stores I think about horrible things. Nobody is selling Thatcher books because she was illiterate.
