    They put a shit ton of money into state races, too. Their plan was to get enough state legislatures in their pocket to call a constitutional convention and rewrite the US as an anarcho-capitalist state.

      Lets not give stateless capitalists the label “anarcho” that they try to claim.

      Anarchism is the abolishing of systems of domination. You cannot be capitalist and be anarchist. It’s an inherent contradiction. At it’s most basic, anarchism is the abolishment of the state and capitalism. That’s why it’s often called “Libertarian Socialism”.

        they want slavery that’s what they want.

        anarchy to them means no legislation to stop what they want, you see the attacks on institutions and regulations all the time. It seems like our representatives hate the FDA and the EPA, wonder why

      I believe that was a stretch goal… the common story has always been that they wanted to take over redistricting after the census, which they really did knock out of the park, catching dems flat-footed.

      Seems like they found a way to do that without having to do the Constitutional Convention.
