There's a huge difference between someone who doesn't want govt to succeed and someone who doesn't want your vision of govt to succeed.

> Many view government as competition to private industry and their own freedoms, so a failed government is a good thing.

And then there are the folks who view your vision of govt as a threat to their liberties and so on.

There are two reasons why someone might "confuse" those two groups. I wonder which one applies here?
