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 their 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 National Socialism,  Monarchism, and  Stalinism and used in present-day contexts as a symbol of anti-fascism.

History
Opposition to authoritarianism does not have a specific date or era, but some signs of rebellion against authorities can be seen in ancient empires and against some chiefs. An ancient example would be in Greek mythology, in which the titan Prometheus, rebelled against Zeus, stealing fire and giving it to mortals, also taking knowledge, making Zeus chain him and torture him for eternity. Another example in Greece could be the philosopher Diogenes, who was against slavery and even mocked Alexander the Great in front of himself. The Sophists (original concept) were philosophers who charged to teach philosophy and contradicted Plato and Aristotle, their elitisms and the aristocracy. In Egypt, an act of rebellion could be the escape of Israeli slaves led by Moses, even though it was somewhat selective and theocratic. In the Roman empire, several persecuted and opposing Christians were killed and tortured, as in the Brazen bull tortures, in addition to several internal riots.

Jumping back in time, there was a lot of resistance against the Mongol Empire, which after several revolts and the death of the emperors, ended up causing the Mongol empire to fall and being divided into several kingdoms, so much so that in 1335 Persia fell into anarchy. In the Middle Ages, many people who disobeyed or opposed the Catholic Church were tortured and killed, as in the Inquisition, many being called "witches". It is worth mentioning that Cospaia, (IRL Ancapitan) was also an opposition to the church, which had a tobacco trade and a refuge for Jews. A notable case of opposition was against the physicist Galileo Galilei. During the great navigations, there was slavery of natives and the slave trade, with slave revolts throughout the colonies, both British, Spanish, Dutch, French and Portuguese, some being encouraged by some Jesuits. Initially, the Protestant Reformation, led by Martin Luther, went against the authority of the Pope and the church by translating the Bible from Latin into German, but Luther took a more authoritarian and anti-Semitic stance, inspiring future authoritarian movements and governments. There was also resistance from the Irish against the British imperialists, being suppressed by Oliver Cromwell. As for the Renaissance artists, there were also rejections and criticisms from the church against, but not as much as the other examples mentioned.

Both in the American War of Independence and in the French Revolution, several people wanted to overthrow the oligarchic and authoritarian system, but unintentionally brought to power either a slave-holding government (American case) or more brutal than its predecessor (France). There was also an increase in Enlightenment ideals around the world, such as "Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité", being an affront to absolutist monarchies. With the arrival of the industrial revolution and the transition to modern capitalism, there was an increase in both anarchist and Marxist writing, as well as an explosion of trade unions and the media (thanks to the rise of technology). After the First World War, there was an increase in rebellions against governments, as in the case of the Irish and the Weimar Republic (especially the Iron Front), in addition to the American government having reduced authoritarianism and having adopted a more isolationist policy in the Harding and Coolidge. After the crisis of 29, there was an increase in the appreciation of authoritarianism and aversion to liberal ideals, visible in the increase in the popularity of the Nazi Party, with little resistance.

During World War II and the rise of global fascism, there were rebellions and sabotages in Nazi Germany's concentration camps or rebellions by governments in exile, as in the case of the Czechoslovak government that killed Reinhard Heydrich. There was also sabotage on the part of some German officers and businessmen to prevent genocide, as in the case of John Rabe who avoided a genocide in Nanking and Oskar Schindler who saved Jews from the camps and put them in his factories, in addition to the German economy minister Hjalmar Schacht having unsuccessfully trying to kill Hitler. In Showa Japan, several who rebelled against Japan in its colonies were persecuted, killed and tortured, leaving masques in the countries until today, some were avoided, as already said in the case of Rabe, having several anti-Japanese rebellions. In Mussolini's Italy, there was also resistance from anarchists, liberals and anti-fascists, in which after the second invasion, along with Brazil (Smoking Cobras), UK and anti-fascists, Mussolini was executed in public. After the horrors caused by Nazism were exposed to the public, anti-authoritarianism gained significant strength, which would sometimes be reflected in the Cold War.

After the Second World War and the beginning of the Cold War, the movement in opposition to authoritarianism had a considerable growth, possibly due to numerous factors such as knowledge of the horrors committed by the Nazis, numerous wars that were going on at the time (both civilians and interventions), use of the term freedom as propaganda by both communist and pro-US regimes, influences of rebellions around the world and many other factors. Opposition to pro-US countries: During the cold war, there were several opposition movements to pro-US regimes, initially it had strength in third world countries that had interventions, such as African countries (post-imperialism) and Latin Americans (Operation Condor), who went through separatist (Africa) or opposition movements, usually of socialist communist ideologies, carrying out protests, guerrillas, unions, rebellions and other forms of revolts, which in most cases were violently repressed or generated left-wing authoritarians. Later, with the rise of the hippie movement, opposition to the Vietnam War, internal crises (especially in the Nixon administration), civil rights movement and other actions ended up influencing certain measures of the Jimmy Carter administration (its appreciation for human rights) that reduced the American imperialism and the rise of anti-Americanism and anti-imperialism within the US, with both left and right (right-libertarian) movements. Opposition to communists:Even before the Second World War, there were already strong oppositions to communism and the Soviet Union, such as red fear and some writers accusing it of being "red fascism". During the cold war, as propaganda, anti-communists and neocons claimed that communists were against freedom, that even though they had non-authoritarian variants, pro-USSR communist countries still persecuted and excuted many of their opponents, establishing autocracies and totalitarian regimes. Some of the most notable oppositions were various political prisoners in the gulags, Hungarian Revolution of 1956, Prague Spring in Czechoslovakia, 8888 Uprising and later, the fall of the Soviet Union (especially in the Baltic countries).

After the fall of the USSR, the rise of neoliberalism and the advance of the internet, opposition to authoritarianism grew, especially due to the increase in information available about dictatorships and so-called authoritarian actions, such as the American espionage revealed by Edward Snowden, generating protests such as "Stop Watching Us". It also has opposition to the authoritarian governments of China (so much so that it banned Google), Russia (especially in the invasions), Syria (civil war) and countless others.



[[File:GerSPD.png]] Iron Front
Iron Front (German: Eiserne Front) was a German paramilitary group affiliated with the SPD formed in 1931 in the Weimar Republic against the rise of authoritarianism, in which it opposed authoritarian ideologies of the time, such as the Monarchy (Franz von Papen), Nazism (Adolf Hitler) and Communism (Ernst Thälmann), in which Thälmann accused them of being "terrorist" and "social fascist". The group was opposed to the NSDAP and the KDP, (whose last was seen as the main enemy) intended to bring together trade unionists, democratic socialists, liberals and social liberals as a form of defense against the "anti-republics". They used the "three arrows", a symbol against the aforementioned enemies of democracy. The group dissolved in 1933, with the crushing of the unions, currently the symbols are used as a symbol of the "fight against authoritarianism and totalitarianism".

=== China === Since the reforms made by Deng Xiaoping that introduced State Capitalism, there have been several oppositions to later governments, that, even if authoritarianism did not get as big as that of Mao Zedong, China remained authoritarian and with freedom of expression heavily repressed. , especially in the governments of Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin and Xi Jinping. Much of the crackdown was publicized by the Western media, generating opposition outside and inside China. ==== 1989 Tiananmen Square Protests and Massacre ==== As stated before, Deng Xiaoping's government reforms diminished authoritarianism compared to Mao Zedong, yet China remained a dictatorship, taking some authoritarian measures, such as the one-child law and repression of opponents, in which many of the opponents gathered in demonstrations in 1989, being repressed with an iron fist, this event known as the Tiananmen Square massacre.

This protest and later massacre, was a series of protests organized by opponents of the Chinese government in 1989, beginning after the death of Hu Yaobang, in which students paid tribute and discussed social problems in Tiananmen Square and demanded the Seven Demands, namely: The Chinese police tried to persuade the protesters to withdraw, but they ended up staying, making the police use brutality, in which the images circulated. Later the protesters began to go on hunger strike to gain government attention and that it would respond after plans to welcome Mikhail Gorbachev. The strike sparked sympathy and increased protests, reaching up to 1 million Beijing residents to demonstrate. Many of the protesters were students, workers, etc., even though there were some Maoists, the majority were motivated by freedom of expression, anti-corruption, democratic reforms, economic changes (varying according to the protesters) and opposition to nepotism. In the same year, Zhao Ziyang was removed from power due to disagreements with Deng and sympathy with the protesters. Later, Li Peng hastily passed the martial law, which mobilized military personnel, which, on the 1-3, Li Peng gave permission to "use any means", being understood by some military as a justification for lethality. Then there was repression, shooting and execution of several protesters, so much so that one of the most emblematic photos was the "Tank Man", in which it was a row of tanks being stopped with a man holding a bag. There were also protests outside Beijing, which were also violently repressed. After the violence, it ended up having an influence on politics in China, so much so that it is one of the most censored topics in China, in addition to being extremely cited by many opponents outside China.
 * 1) Affirm Hu Yaobang's views on democracy and freedom as correct.
 * 2) Admit that campaigns against spiritual pollution and bourgeois liberalization were wrong.
 * 3) Publish information on the income of state leaders and their families.
 * 4) Allow private newspapers and end press censorship.
 * 5) Increase funding for education and increase the remuneration of intellectuals.
 * 6) End restrictions on demonstrations in Beijing.
 * 7) Provide objective coverage of students in official media.

=== Arab Spring ===

The Arab Spring was a series of anti-government protests, uprisings, and armed rebellions that spread across much of the Arab world in the early 2010s. It began with the Jasmine Revolution in Tunisia in opposition to the corrupt and despotic regime of  Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. From Tunisia, the protests then across the Middle East, including but not limited to Libya,  Egypt,  Yemen,  Syria, and  Bahrain, among others. Partly because of foreign interference from external actors such as NATO,  European Union,  Russia,  Turkey,  Iran, attempting to assert their hegemony over the region by taking advantage of the chaos and unrest, much of the Arab Spring ended in tragedy and large scale conflicts such as the Syrian Civil War, and the rise of  ISIS.

The 2011 Egyptian revolution, which began on 25 January 2011, consisted of millions of protesters from a range of socio-economic and religious backgrounds with the aim of ending the over 20-year-long reign of  Hosni Mubarak. Violent clashes between security forces and protesters resulted in over 800 people killed and over 6,000 injured. The revolution was over in less than three weeks and on 11 February 2011, former President Mubarak's resignation was publicly declared.

After the revolution against Mubarak and a period of rule by the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, the Muslim Brotherhood took power in Egypt through a series of popular elections, with Egyptians electing Mohamed Morsi to the presidency in June 2012. However, the Morsi government proved itself to be an authoritarian regime of its own and in some aspects worse than Mubarak's dictatorship due to its sectarianism and Islamist leanings and was met with fierce opposition from the Egyptian people. On 3 July 2013, Morsi was deposed by a coup d'état led by the minister of defense, General Abdel Fattah El-Sisi who has ruled Egypt with an iron first to this day.

The Diplomat describes the Milk Tea Alliance, despite it not being institutionalized, as a pro-democracy alternative to ASEAN. However, unlike Iron Front, the Milk Tea Alliance wants to merely reform the Thai monarchy instead of (although a fringe faction of them do advocate) abolishing it.

Anonymous
Anonymous is a decentralized international activist and hacktivist collective and movement primarily known for its various cyberattacks against several governments, government institutions and government agencies, corporations and the Church of Scientology. The main purpose of the movement is Anti-cyber-surveillance, Anti-cyber-censorship, Internet activism, and internet vigilantism. Targets of Anonymous hacktivism included government agencies of the United States, Israel, Tunisia, Uganda, and the Islamic State. While there is no uniform ideology or goal, with infighting being noted at times such as with the 2016 US election. They have had a profound impact on political activism especially on social media. However, in more recent years due to improved cybersecurity across the web, especially for major corporations and governments, various affiliates utilization of internet hacking as a means to spread social change anonymously have increasingly led to less success as methods became entirely unsophisticated or just outdated. With the collective largely being in near hibernation state between the years of 2015 to 2020. The movement made a massive resurgence in light of the murder of George Floyd where the collective had been responsible for hacking numerous police agencies leading to the #BlueLeaks hashtag trending. And bringing to light the increasing amounts of internet surveillance done by law enforcement against ordinary people. Currently the collective is still active, albeit with less power than prior years.

[[File:Cball-Belarus-old.png]] Belarusian Opposition
The Belarusian Opposition consists of groups and individuals in Belarus seeking to challenge the country's leader Alexander Lukashenko, whom supporters of the movement often consider to be a dictator. Supporters of the movement tend to call for a parliamentary democracy based on a Western mode, with freedom of speech and political and religious pluralism.

The Belarusian Opposition movement has a long history, but it has recently resurged during the 2020 presidential elections, when the opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya claimed she had won the election, but was stopped due to fraud in the election. Many people were outraged by this, which sparked massive protests, calling for Lukashenko to abdicate, and for the opposition leader to be put into power. Protests emerged from the Belarusian opposition condemning Lukashenko's support and involvement with the 2022 Russian invasion of ukraine on 27 February 2022, shortly after the war's beginning. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, over 800 people had been detained for involvement within these protests. Activists from the opposition later engaged in activity to support Ukraine in the conflict, including attacks on the Belarusian Railway, a state railroad which had been utilized by Russia to support the Kyiv offensive.

[[File:EndSARS.png]] End SARS
EndSARS is a decentralized movement and a Nigerian hashtag calling for an end to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), generating protests that were brutally repressed by the Nigerian police. The reason for the end of SARS would be the countless accusations of torture, extortion, disappearances, imprisonment of children, organ harvesting, rape, assaults and robberies (ironically), among countless other crimes. There were protests around Nigeria and some parts of the world, in which the Nigerian government froze the activists' bank accounts and carried out some executions, causing various artists, corporations and tech startups to support the idea, along with the BLM and the Feminist Coalition.

In 2020, SARS was dissolved, being replaced by the Special Weapon and Tactics Team (SWAT), but it was also accused of brutality, causing the protests to continue.
