I have not studied thoughrouly the Posse Comitatus, but I think they
belong on the Ultra-Right Populist grouplings with a doze of fascism.
Though they oppose all levels of goverment, I think foremost they are
opposed all levels of Democratic government of the liberal Capitalist
kind.  They do put alot emphasis on County level goverment, but they also
have a sort of "leadership cult" (or "caudillismo" in Spanish).  I am not
really sure if they would be opposed to a authocratic government.  Also,
they do have mystical nationalism in their ideological in that many
remember a mystical "Go West!" type of America.  John Wayne as
ideology/image. Much of their membership comes from larger
farmers/land-owners.

Sincerely,
Erik Toren
