My take is the commenter was implying something like "Yes, like the mob, but worse, because it is done under the auspices of a national government."

I got the meaning right away, but I can appreciate if others didn't. I didn't read it as intentionally enigmatic, fwiw. Sometimes short punchy comments really land, sometimes not -- it is a risk. As you can probably tell, I err in the other direction. (:
