Who runs Montana?
Is Montana really a soviet state managed by unelected Commissions and Councils of Government?
While some of the below linked organizations are populated with publicly elected civil servants (public officials) as membership, the policy and practice to govern us comes from the association not from the will and voice of the people. Their Lobbyist to the Montana Legislature and Administration generally overshadows public voice.
Montana Association of Counties
Montana League of Cities and Towns
Montana Municipal Clerks, Treasurers & Finance Officers Association
MONTANA PUBLIC EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT ADMINISTRATION, PERS
Montana Association of Conservation Districts
Montana Association of REALTORS®
Montana Federation of Public Employees Has two national affiliates: the 1.4-million-member American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and the 3.2-million-member National Education Association (NEA).

Unlisted are NGOs, international governmental and multi-national corporate interests, another LONG list.

Nailed it. The Managerial state.
I'm an immigrant from the USSR and I agree with Lark Chadwick. But, the USSR didn't brainwash children into that they were born in "the wrong bodies" and their parents were their enemies, transphobic bigots who raised them against their true identities. Gender ideology, which is heavily promoted by city councilors and school administrators, invented the tool destroying nuclear families which no tyrannical regime succeeded to implement so far.
