Anti-establishment

Encyclopedia : A : AN : ANT : Anti-establishment

"Anti-establishment" defines a certain view or belief that goes against the conventional social, political and economic principles being used in society. Many historical figures based great innovations to society by standing by this ideology (including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, Galileo, Socrates, Jesus, Moses, etc.). Individuals who are anti-establishment often speak of "fighting the man" and "tearing down the establishment."
