'''Anti-authoritarianism in practice''' typically looks like [[crime]] to those who support [[authority]]. A trivial example is [[troll-sysop struggle]]s which are characterized as criminal by [[sysop power structure]] even though most [[trolls]] are harmless. Serious anti-authority action may follow lines like this, first published as '''how to organize an anarchist group''' at the old [[Recyclopedia]] which was apparently run by a mole for authority who hated it:

'''How to organize an anarchist group'''

(outline)

*finding a [[basis for unity]] - [[no confusion with group entity]] itself
*sharing individual [[personal experience]] and [[declaration of bias]]; [[meeting style]]s appropriate to [[anarchize]]
*extremely open discourse and exchange of ideas and vocabulary - looking for ideal language to engage and debate others, especially in other [[ethical tradition]]s, to establish rules of [[mutality]] and [[common cause]]s
*identifying shared concern and [[common cause]]s
*[[no operational contact]] with any party not completely trusted
*establishing [[due process]] for [[fairness]] - avoiding [[groupthink]]; when to [[require response to hearsay]]
*dealing with [[financial capital]] shortages, e.g. [[sustainable trades]], [[how to make small honest money fast]]
*protecting helpless members, e.g. from [[police]], [[outing]], other abuses.
*limiting size, i.e. [[rule of 150]], [[eco-village]]
*growing [[social capital]] via [[empathic integrity]] (trusting each other)
*[[squat]]s and the [[cockroach ethic]]
*[[scavenging]] and the [[raccoon ethic]]

how to explain what you're doing

How [[Four Pillars]] (of [[Green Parties]], [[peace movement]], [[ecology movement]], [[altermondialiste]]s) can help explain what you're doing and why:
*Pillars are generally considered interdependent, reinforcing each other in non-obvious ways - you can usually show in any debate that without one of them, the other three will fall apart. This validates defensive tactics and builds unity with those who operate within the political system (e.g. seeking [[bourgeois revolution]])
*[[social justice]] begins with intra-group equality and protecting helpless members
*[[consensus democracy]] and [[deliberative democracy]] methods may help when the entire group must make a single decision and commit to it completely; ways [[consensus decision making]] can vary to adapt to different risk levels
*[[nonviolence]] as rhetoric; [[satyagraha]]; relevance to [[direct action]] and [[civil disobedience]]; [[how to make bullying you not worth it]]
*[[terrist]] and [[troll ethics]] - saving your planet by annoying society
*[[hominid personhood]] and [[animal rights]] - who or what are you most like?

How [[situationiste]] and [[absurdist]] tactics can help, e.g. with [[distraction]], [[mass media]] attention. How [[situated ethics]] applies, and can keep you unified even in difficult situations, i.e. [[solidarity]].
