anti-powerfulism
 n.— «That movement formed originally around anti-globalization activism and was consolidated through the opposition to the Iraq war. Its common thread is a certain kind of anti-Americanism and perhaps more generally a sort of “anti-powerfulism,” which can be defined as the instinctual opposition to all who are powerful: the United States in the first instance, but the World Bank, WTO, etc. as well.» —“Anti-Powerfulism” by Uriah Kriegel Tech Central Station Feb. 8, 2005.
