A person who opposes liberalism and advocates for an alternative political system based on authoritarian or collective principles.
From antiliberal plus -ist (a person who advocates for or practices something). The term emerged alongside 20th-century political movements to identify adherents of explicitly anti-liberal ideologies.
Notable antiliberalists include figures like Benito Mussolini and Carl Schmitt, who didn't just disagree with liberals—they built systematic philosophies to explain why individual freedom and democracy were actually bad for society.
