Isn't John Galt the name of a fictional protagonist of a Libertarian fanfic about how great unrestrained capitalism is? I believe the author also infamously argued that parents should have the right to enslave their own children?

Yes. Ayn Rand's fictional character. That has nothing to do with the real, historical John Galt. But thanks for playing.

I'm just floored to find out there was an actual person named John Galt. The new information actually ruins the irony of Atlas Shrugged, in the best way. XD
