THANK YOU.
Yeah, that's generally what I was thinking. Lulu definitely thinks people should be unrestricted in their pursuit of happiness, but he's not nearly as opposed to the concept of government as Ayn Rand is. To be fair, he used to be as much of a collectivist as Schneizel, but the whole Nunnally-thing made him a much weaker (and more hypocritical) politician than his brother.
Schneizel, on the other hand, knows precisely what he's doing, but he hides it so well that nobody but Diethard the Shit-Disturber sees it coming. His political methods are subtle in the extreme: he even fools his lovers, Cecile and Kanon, and that's why he's the Geass equivalent of Ellsworth Toohey~ /shot

/SEES WHERE THIS IS GOING
YES. I'M DREADING THAT SPEECH ALREADY.
WELL, LET'S SEE: THERE'S LELOUCH, SUZAKU NEAR THE END, AND... JEREMIAH? SO TWO, MAYBE THREE IF YOU VIEW EMPEROR LELOUCH'S TEAM AS ONE BIG ORGY. SHE'S DEFINITELY NOT A MASOCHIST, THOUGH, SO I GUESS SHE'S A LITTLE BETTER THAN DAGNY.
IT IS INEVITABLE~
WHAT DID I TELL YOU? THERE'S NO AVOIDING IT. YOU ARE BECOMING HER HERO; OUR RELATIONSHIP IS BECOMING MORE RANDIAN ALL THE TIME. WHY DID ALL OF HER PREDICTIONS FOR THE FUTURE HAVE TO COME TRUE? /CRIES FOREVER
