Anti-authoritarianism

[Luis Fok]

Opposition to [authoritarianism]. Beliefs include no absolute faith in authority; appealing to reason, logic and evidence; equality before the law and civil liberties, and rejection of appealing to authority to prove an argument as a logical fallacy. [Anti-authoritarianism] has been associated with the counterculture movement and sub-cultures such as punks (and offshoots such as cyberpunk and [unicorn punk]), beatniks, and hippies; and the bohemian movement.
