 * "Movements that radically oppose the dominant system are termed anti-system. "
 * Giovanni Capoccia: Anti-System Parties: A Conceptual Reassessment
 * (from Abstract) The origins of the concept reside in the writings of Sartori on party systems in the 1960s and 1970s, where it mainly referred to the totalitarian parties of the inter-war and post-war decades. Since its inception, however, the concept of an anti-system party has not only been used in party system analysis, but also in the context of empirical studies of various aspects of the life of democratic regimes, to indicate challenges to its stability, legitimacy or, more recently, consolidation.
 * Capoccia say: "The first formulation of the concept can be found, to the best of my knowledge, in a chapter by Sartori in an edited volume published in 1963 (Sartori, 1963)", i.e., 5. European Political Parties: The Case of Polarized Pluralism From the book Political Parties and Political Development. (SPD-6) Giovanni Sartori
 * Capoccia mentions similar coinages:
 * "The reference here is to the concepts of ‘major structural opposition’, introduced by Dahl (1966), and of ‘opposition of principle’, coined by Kirchheimer (1966a, b). Also the concept of ‘disloyal opposition’ (Linz, 1978), first used a dozen of years later, referred essentially to the same reality."
 * Schedler (1996: 292) lists about 15 of such labels used in the literature to describe the attitudes of political parties. His list is not exhaustive: for example, one could add the ‘anti-structure’ parties (Dewachter, 1987: 289), or the ‘anti-party system’ parties (Katz, 1996: 133).
