Antiestablishmentarianism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Antiestablishmentarianism (or anti-establishmentarianism) is a policy or attitude that views a nation's power structure as corrupt, repressive, exploitive, etc.
Antiestablishmentarians adhere to the doctrine of opposition to the social and political establishment. Their purpose is to subvert from within. This doctrine holds that establishments lose connection with the people and have their own agendas which frequently destroy the things they blindly don't address.
Antiestablishmentarianism has ties to anarchism but should not be confused with antifederalism.
In a country with an established religion (e.g. England), "Antiestablishmentarianism" means support for the end of the special status of the established religion.
