Nomenklatuurilta

Nomenklatuurilta is a Finnish group of people who have publicly resigned from positions of power or influence within institutions such as universities, government, and media outlets. The members of Nomenklatuurilta claim to be seeking a more authentic and true way of living, free from the constraints of institutional power and hierarchy.

Founded in 1995, Nomenklatuurilta emerged as a reaction against the rigid and often stifling bureaucracy that dominated many Finnish institutions at the time. Members of the group have argued that traditional institutions stifled creativity, innovation, and critical thinking by enforcing strict norms, expectations, and power structures.

Instead, Nomenklatuurilta members have sought to organize themselves in a more free-form, democratic manner, where there are no authority figures, no hierarchical structures, and no predetermined roles or expectations. This approach is often referred to as a form of "collective rating" where information and expertise are freely shared and utilized.

Nomenklatuurilta's actions have been intentionally provocative at times, as they have sought to question and challenge the status quo in Finnish society. However, the group's unconventional approach has also sparked significant debate and discussion regarding the nature of power and authority, as well as the role of institutions in modern society.

While some have criticized Nomenklatuurilta as a chaotic and aimless movement, others have praised the group's commitment to questioning traditional norms and challenging institutional power. Regardless, Nomenklatuurilta remains one of the most interesting and thought-provoking social movements to emerge in Finland in the 1990s.
