That's the only variety the media is willing to portray.  Agent provocateurs are also a frequent issue.

Indubitably. Logically, the only 'pure' form of government is that with none at all.

You want your nice things, you deal with the government.

Yeah... funny... I mentioned I'm not an insurrectionist and Somalia is a good example of why.  The government collapsed in civil war, and the end inherited the character of the means.

Blizzard is managed by dark sorcerers, and probably have enough money to bail-out the federal government.

Hmm... so, a bunch of arguments that contradict each other thrown together at random ("Somalia is an awesome, libertarian place to be!  No, actually, Somalia sucks, but that's because of the government there.  No, actually, it's great there now, but that doesn't make up for the lack of freedom in the past.  No, actually, Africans just suck.  No, actually, all of Somalia's problems are caused by government officials.") while ignoring the most obvious problems (warlordism, piracy, militant Islam) there?

Ok.

Somalia sucks because the economy is in shambles and you can eat if you have the balls to be a pirate.

That being said, pirates are awesome.

Piratism only works as long as there's someone else to pay for it.  Come to think of it, that's pretty much the definition of Piratism.
