| | | anti-establishment groups | Explanation:
Random House Webster's Unabridged definition of anti-establishment: "opposed to or working against the existing power structure or mores, as of society or government: 'Antiestablishment candidates promised to disband the army, Congress, and the cabinet if elected.'" These are the groups more likely being referred to in the Polish original, rather than "alternative communities" or "societies", which refer more in English to sects or communes living apart from mainstream society. "Alternative community" is also being used to refer to territorial communities that adopt very strict environmental guidelines in the use of natural resources and energy. |
