If the government ever becomes so corrupt and overly powerful that it ceases to protect the individual liberties of the people, then they have every right to overthrow it. The purpose of this law was to prevent Nazis and Communists from gathering followings that they would use to overthrow the government and establish a dictatorial regime.

Sorry, but I don't trust the government to abide by your purpose. Our government has already shown disregard for civil liberties and a tendancy to suspend the rights of people when they see a need for it. I'd rather not give them anymore power over the freedom of the people.
