They Don't Mean to Govern, They Mean to Rule

This author explores the strategy and ideology behind the Koch project, and sees its inspiration in the work of Nobel laureate James McGill Buchanan. The long-term 'libertarian' goal, ironically, is despotism. And there's not much left in their way. This Slate interview with author Nancy MacLean is the vital explainer as to what's really going on.

Quote:
[Interviewer] So it’s about power, money.

[MacLean] Not just money. I think it’s also much more about this psychology of threatened domination. People who believe it will harm their liberty for other people to have full citizenship and be able to work together to govern society. And that somehow that goes much deeper than money to me. It’s hard to find the right words for it, but it’s a whole way of being in the world and seeing others. Assuming one’s right to dominate.
