I think you can be both. Objectivism is the philosophy that every human being lives out their lives through personal self interest. Basically every decision we make benefits our well being in some way. That we need a system which enables people to have productive achievements. Basically, this is why rich people are often sad despite having everything. They are stagnant. Productive achievement / room for rational self interest to be expressed is necessary for everyone.
