I think Ayn rand falls under the first two categories.
Anti communist, sure. That is in the subtitles probably.
But when you consult Objectivists they are the most rational, intellectual people they have ever met.
Most definitly not anti intellectual in mind set.
They treat thier rationale as the most intellectual, to the level they attribute a form of divinity.
Objectivism champions rationality and thought exclusively even as it devolves into a darwinian genetic supremecy argumemt.
Tl/dr Rand is eugenics in 10 billion words.
