Correct. As explored in Politics as a Vocation (read Weber you fucks), what legitimizes a state is its monopoly on the use of violence.
Antifa

Free market doesn't imply lack of a reigning ideological view points, so don't mischaracterize the term. Free market of ideas entails equal chance of dispersal but unequal chance of application. Also, I was complaining that the term Anti-facist would be a misnomer if the use of Authoritarian methods to silence the opposition was put into place, which would be ironic considering Fascism is inherently authoritarian. But I suppose you wouldn't agree with that considering the fact that you view the methods of establishing an ideology to be separate from the ideology itself, hence Fascism ≠ use of authority and violence. And I agree that all ideologies that hold some influential grip on a group of people will have already utilized or will threaten others with the use of violence and authority to maintain their place within the common thought. But is is not fair to distinguish the difference between the ideological views represented by the state and the internal ideological marketplace? I don't mean to muddy the waters but I think they should be distinguished. The ideological views expressed by the state are already established and represented by the state, while internal ideological strife is much more volatile. Although both are subject to change.
Why can't you read right. I don't support that

But it's not. Mass media propaganda will always drown out the blogs. The ruling class has the media image and they've been constructing so for hundreds of years. And this isn't even addressing how governments will censor anyone they see as a threat with their free speeech anyway.
In that case, free market of ideas is completely useless; why should I wait around for the unlikely chance for a bunch of brainwashed masses to wake up when I could be doing something right now?

Are there any solid examples of governments funding major media outlets or such? It makes sense that MSM defends the government but I can't think of any evidence.

Broke: ANTIFA, middle class liberal students organising without direction
Woke: Unite against racism, proletarian socialist trade unions organising under a common banner and organisation.

The chance of dispersal is still the same, its the quantity of dispersal you're speaking of. There is still equal CHANCE of dispersal. And by acting out and trying to wake-up the masses, you are still acting within the bounds of the free market of ideas. You're already playing the game, be it by violence or otherwise. Unequal application doesn't mean the tide of opinion can't change in your favor.

Bolshevik actions have been utilized by the CIA more than anyone.
