While all of these groups can create lawless areas within each country, and the government cannot act on it, because it demonstrates the powerlessness of the government in the face of organized violence, some groups are superior at organized violence than others. So policing only works against people who want to be policed. Think about that when you go to a court room and see a long line of people being punished for no other reason than administrative compliance because they live powerlessly on the financial margin. Or when you see a mom pulled over in a mini van for going three miles over the speed limit, while another area of town is battened down like a war zone because the police cannot afford to, and are not willing to, protect it.
If you can make the police officers and or judges afraid of you, then you can take over any country. A little at a time.
The question is only whether you can organize effectively or not. And CLANS are very effective means of organization (Chechens). But you can also organize by religion, or commercial interest. The difference is the incentives: a clan has an incentive that is immutable, religions are weaker, and commercial interests are weakest. Yet It’s easier to form commercial organizations and harder to form clans.
The question is only whether you choose to support the state or not. If you choose to undermine it. THen a small organization of any kind will rapidly make an area ungovernable.
