A political review of Captain America(warning, spoilers)

From the Mises Economics Blog comes an interesting review of the movie, Captain America.  While I agree that the writers of the movie probably did not intend all of the assumptions made in this piece, it is interesting to explore how much of the movie is reflected in the political realities we see today in the United States.
Some of my favorite quotes from the article are as follows.  "This SHIELD/HYDRA conjunction is a splendid analogue for the State itself. The illusion is that the State, like SHIELD, is a “shield”: an essential protector of life, liberty, and property against criminals, foreign and domestic. The reality is that the State, like the HYDRA-infested SHIELD, is a monstrous institution, shot through with the most dastardly criminals of them all, and hellbent on ensnaring in its coils as many people as possible, and as tightly as it can get away with.  The State, like the HYDRA-inflested SHIELD, either produces or induces most of the violence in the world; and then it turns around and uses that very turmoil to play on people’s fears, so as to justify its expansion (like the proliferating heads of the mythical Hydra) and its even tighter constriction of society, allegedly so it can “keep us safe.”"
A second quote shows that "Like SHIELD/HYDRA, Washington (through such “Hydra heads” as NATO, the U.S. military, the CIA, the NED, etc) has used mass deception and covert interventions (both hard and soft) to generate chaos so as to precipitate its own overt interventions, and to extend its hegemony. World history since the Second World War has been a tissue of such incidents."
The last quote I will borrow is the following, "One of the greatest moments in the film is when Captain America decides not to try to purge HYDRA from SHIELD, as Nick Fury (played by Samuel L. Jackson) wants to do, and as some minarchist (utopian) libertarians would like to do with the State. Instead, he realizes that SHIELD and HYDRA cannot be disentangled: certainly not practically, and perhaps not even conceptually."  This last quote is the critical one that needs to be examined today by those who feel that the government is no longer representative of the people.  While there is no doubt that there are many problems in the government, is the ultimate solution one of restoration or re-creation?
