Anti-Authoritarianism

Anti-Authoritarianism, sometimes known as Anti-Auth for short, is a civically liberal to libertarian ideology whose sole defining characteristic is fervent, uncompromising opposition to Authoritarianism and strong state power.

Anti-Auth's passion for policies and direct action against authoritarian ideologies, as well as ability to work with anyone on the economic and cultural spectrum if they share his libertarian values, makes him an ideology that unites both libertarian quadrants, "the epitome of LibUnity", as one might say.

In the Polcompball canon, Anti-Auth is represented by the "three arrows", a symbol used by the Iron Front and the German Social Democratic Party in the 1930s as a symbol of resistance to Nazism,  Monarchism, and  Bolshevism and used in present-day contexts as a symbol of anti-fascism.

Iron Front
The Iron Front was a German paramilitary affitiated with  SPD. It was opposed to Monarchism, Stalinism and Nazism. Three arrows remain in use by opponents of these 3 ideologies and general anti-authoritarians.

Milk Tea Alliance is a decentralized online movement in Hong Kong,  ROC,  Myanmer and  Thailand. It initially was dedicated to purely opposing Dengism before moving on to opposing all authoritarian leaders and ideologies in the aftermentioned areas. Unlike Iron Front, it is not anti-monarchist, and wants to merely reform the Thai monarchy.

Beliefs
Is obviously not too fond of Authoritarian ideologies from the left, right, or centre and will oppose them whenever possible.

The three white arrows represent anti-Monarchism, anti-Communism, and anti-Fascism.
