The patriot movement is "kind of extreme." An underlying theme of much of the patriot movement and the associated militia movment is that the government is "the enemy" and anything associated with the government must be resisted.

Ah ok. Maybe I'm just not seeing the distinction. How is that attitude different from not wanting a government in the first place?

Because the patriot movement doesn't see government as per se undesirable like anarchists would. The patriot movement sees the current US government (including to some degree state governments) as a tyrannical move away from proper constitutional government and toward the One World Order.
