Watched this documentary last night and holy shit are these guys ruthless. They just nonchalantly talk on camera about torturing people, chopping their heads off, dumping bodies - shit is insane. What makes it all the more menacing is that Russian dudes are all creepy looking; they look like fucking vampires. What's most interesting, though, is how it seems that in Russia the lines between mobsters, politicians, bankers, and businessmen became blurred when they made the transition from a communist to capitalist society. And I think the most salient point, something all the ivory tower fantasyland libertarians should keep in mind, is that if the government does not maintain a monopoly on violence, you get organizations like this that step in to fill the vacuum. I have some more thoughts on it, but no time to type it out right now, not that anybody gives a shit, anyway. If you got an hour and a half, watch it; it's pretty good.
