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.

Iron Front
The Iron Front was a German paramilitary affiliated 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.

[[File:MilkTeaAlliance.png]] Milk Tea Alliance
Milk Tea Alliance is a decentralized online democracy and human rights movement in Hong Kong,  Republic of China (Taiwan) (Boba),  Myanmar (Burmese lahpet),  Thailand (Thai Tea) and occasionally  India. It initially started as an internet meme dedicated to purely opposing Dengism before moving on to opposing all authoritarian leaders and ideologies in the aforementioned areas, which later included countries that share a similar national drink (tea), such as  Philippines,  Malaysia (Teh Tarik),  Indonesia,  Belarus (Ryazhenka) and  Iran (Chai), although they are not considered as canon countries or their movements are not significant in these regions. 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, taking inspiration from the Khana Ratsadon's proclamation during the 1932 Siamese Revolution.

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: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.

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-Stalinism, and anti-Fascism.
