Wilson claims an array of influences from anti-state and libertarian political thinkers , including leftist market anarchists like the mutualist scholar Pierre-Joseph Proudhon , capitalist libertarians such as the Austrian School scholar Hans-Herman Hoppe , and classical liberals including Frederic Bastiat . His political thought has been compared to the " conservative revolutionary " ideas of Ernst Jünger . Jacob Siegel wrote that " Cody Wilson arrives at a place where left , right — and democracy — disappear " and that he oscillates " somewhere between anarch and anarchist . " Wilson is an avowed crypto-anarchist , and has discussed his work in relation to the cypherpunks and Timothy May 's vision . He frequently cites the work of post-Marxist thinkers in public comments , especially that of Jean Baudrillard , whom he has claimed as his " master . " Asked during an interview with '' Popular Science '' if the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting affected his thinking or plans in any way , Wilson responded , " ... understanding that rights and civil liberties are something that we protect is also understanding that they have consequences that are also protected , or tolerated . The exercise of civil liberties is antithetical to the idea of a completely totalizing state . That 's just the way it is . " '' Wilson is generally opposed to intellectual property rights . He has indicated that although his primary goal is the subversion of state-structures , he also hopes that his contributions may help to dismantle the existing system of capitalist property relations
