	not sure what you mean by 'right wing' militias, but razer's little piece of left wing statist propangada is just that -  propaganda - so it dpesn't stand up well. 

	also, this is not the first time he copy pastes that bullshit.

	nobody is going to fight the US nazis using just guns when you can use other cheap and effective weapons,  so the point made by razer's bullshit propaganda, namely that you need a 'private' army funded by the kochs is...bullshit.

	commerce? I thought the objective was the government? Certainly the economic operations of the corporate arm of the govt are a legitimate target, but not all commerce per se.

	eh? The state exists to rule people and to feed itself. "A stable enviroment for commerce" or a free market, is exactly what the state does NOT provide.

	lolwut. The very purpose of the state is to allow criminals to extort, steal, kidnap, murder, etc while pretending to be "the law".

	no doubt states play a big role in enforcing mercantilism, crony capitalism, corporatism or whatever name you want to use for the non-free market, controlled by special interests we have, but that's not the only reason for the state to exist - at all.

	indeed, and that's what the 'lefty' 'civil disobedience' 'movement' in the US is. Fully controlled opposition.
