The Rot Within - La Ligue Hydrakiste
La Ligue Hydrakiste - or 'Hydracist League'- is a splinter group born from the infamous popular organization Society of Heracles. Its name refers to the Hydra, a mythical creature whose many different individual free-thinking heads are part of a greater whole.
Diverging from the Society over ideological differences, the League is even more radical in its ideas on reform, equality and rebellion. They ardently reject all forms of authority or state and are proponents of maximum individual freedom. They believe in a classless society based on the free grouping of independent individuals, unshackled by the restraints of Gods or Kings.
While there is no nominal leader of the League and it largely operates in cells, Nestor Antonin can be seen as one of the chief founders and ideological masterminds. A student of Emilien Dorée, Antonin - or Nestor X, as he sometimes labels himself, thanks to his remarkable scar and to flaunt his untethering of personal past or present in order to live for the Cause - politically radicalized while fighting in the mercenary group the Red Brigade and came to the conclusion that the Heraclists are no different than any other "ruler", merely sugarcoating their power with popular slogans.
The only way forward for the working class is absolute freedom and rejection of state. An idea which has led the equalists of the Society to mockingly refer to the League of Hydracists as 'Land Rats', refering the the pirate Sea Rats of the New World.
Whereas the Society of Heracles originated in philosophical debate clubs and then later mostly used its force in a defensive way to protect the poor or to protect its rallies, the combative roots of the League are reflected in their approach to violence which they deem as 'absolutely necessary' in order to further the Cause. This translates into arson, robbery and attacks upon the properties of class enemies and the government.
Note: Yay, I've got access to my collection again! I'm not sure if I'll be able to post regularly again, but at least I've got the possibilities again. Hopefully I can try my hands at another MOC sometime, but with summer hitting Belgium I'll probably try to enjoy the sun more, which means less (LEGO) time inside :D .
