Not exactly. Militias are amateurs stepping up when the professionals can't do it. In military terms it's usually because the real armies are too small. In "normal" terms today it's just a bunch of idiots with an axe to grind. These ecomodders are doing what the professionals at the factories can easily do but won't. Using the word militia here is both funny and appropriate.

The Guard is only considered a militia by the deliberately ignorant, although it has many of the positive aspects of one.

Beautiful work, Sven7!
