无领袖抵抗()或幽灵组织架构()是一种举事策略,指小型的独立团体()或个人(孤狼)挑战一个既定的敌手,例如:法律、经济制度、社会秩序或政府。无领袖抵抗可以包含非暴力抗议和公民不服从反抗行为,以及财产破坏、恐怖主义和其他暴力活动等任何形式。
无领袖抵抗缺乏垂直、双向性的指挥联结,通常在没有上级领导的情况下运作; 但是他们会有一个共同的目标,将他们与社会运动联系起来,并从中学习到意识形态。
无领袖抵抗已被广泛运用于各种社会运动,包括动物权利运动、激进环保主义运动、反全球化运动、反堕胎运动、抵御军事入侵、无政府主义组织、反殖民主义、恐怖主义、种族优越主义和仇恨团体。
历史
无领袖抵抗的概念源于1950年代初期,由美国前情报官员上校提出。 他作为一位反共产主义者,将无领袖抵抗视为中情局支持的抵抗组织渗透和摧毁苏联控制东欧国家的一种手段。 毕姆提倡无领袖抵抗是白人民族主义继续与美国政府斗争的一种手段,尽管权力和资源存在巨大的不平衡。
实践
动物解放
动物解放首个记录在案的直接行动发生于1824年,最初由“Band of Mercy”发起,经过漫长延展成为无领袖抵抗,目标是阻止。 Inspired by this group and after seeing a pregnant deer driven into the village by fox hunters to be killed, John Prestige decided to actively oppose this sport and formed the in 1964. Within a year, a leaderless model of hunt-sabotage groups was formed across the United Kingdom.
Earth First! and the environmental movement in the 1980s also adopted the leaderless resistance model. An animal liberation movement advocating violence emerged with the name (ARM) in 1982. Letter bombs were sent to the then British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher. Two years later the name Hunt Retribution Squad (HRS) was also used.
The Earth Liberation Front (ELF) formed in 1992, breaking from Earth First! when that organization decided to focus on public direct action, instead of the that the ELF participated in. A violent group called the was established in 1993, and in 1994 sent razor blades to hunters such as Prince Charles and to animal researchers.
In 1999 the leaderless resistance strategy was employed by animal liberation organisations like Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty (SHAC), which was formed from the campaign and to close down (HLS). Despite claiming successes leaderless animal liberation and environmental movements generally lack the broad popular support that often occurs in strictly political or military conflicts. The (RCALB) appeared in 2003 and sent pipe bombs to and used incendiary devices against other targets, whilst a year later on the south coast of Dorset, the (LLF) was founded.
Within a few years of the victories claimed by the SHAC, other campaigns against animal testing laboratories emerged. At the same time, and the more radical ALF militants, began their campaigns towards the same goal: to end Oxford University's animal research.
In April 2009, the Militant Forces Against Huntingdon Life Sciences (MFAH) became active. With the ALF, they began targeting HLS customer and financial Directors, as well as company property. Since then, groups have reported over a dozen actions in Europe, including painting homes, burning cars, and grave desecration. Militants, however, oppose ALF ideology, instead believing in to prevent suffering at HLS's laboratories.

Leaderless resistance is also often well-suited to terrorist objectives. The Islamist organization Al-Qaeda uses a typical figurehead/leaderless cell structure. The organization itself may be pyramidal, but sympathizers who act on its pronouncements often do so spontaneously and independently.
Given the small, clandestine character of terrorist cells, it is easy to assume they necessarily constitute leaderless resistance models. When there is bidirectional communication with external leadership, however, the label is inappropriate. The men who executed the bombings of the London Underground on July 7, 2005 constituted a leaderless resistance cell in that they purportedly acted out of sympathy for Islamic fundamentalism but under their own auspices. The hijackers involved in the September 11 attacks, by contrast, allegedly received training, direction, and funding from Al-Qaeda, and are not properly designated a leaderless cell.

The concept of leaderless resistance remains important to far-right thinking in the United States, as a proposed response to perceived federal government over-reach at the expense of individual rights. , however, found in his research that for the most part the far right seldom used this tactic. Timothy McVeigh is one example in the United States. McVeigh worked in a small cell which based its attack on motivations widespread among far-right anti-government groups and the .
Leaderless resistance has been advocated by white supremacist groups such as (WAR) and the British neo-Nazi (C18). The modern Ku Klux Klan is also credited with having developed a leaderless resistance model. also advocated forms of leaderless resistance during his time as a leading activist in the National Revolutionary Faction and a pioneer of National-Anarchism. a former American Nazi Party member and neo-Nazi was a proponent of the idea of "leaderless resistance" as detailed in SIEGE a collection of writings from the defunct National Socialist Liberation Front (NSLF) which advocated violence against political opponents, Jews and non-whites of which he deemed to be the supposedly Jewish controlled entity he referred to as "The System" which has since been embraced by the terrorist group Atomwaffen Division (AWD) in the modern day.
Stormfront, Aryan Nations, and (HSN) link to Beam's Leaderless Resistance. These groups promote lone wolf actions. While nominally decrying violence, the sites praise the man who "practices what he preaches, and who backs up his words with his deeds." Stormfront, while regretting the loss of life, explains how Benjamin Nathaniel Smith's was compelled by circumstances. The (WCOTC) gave a mixed message, calling Smith "a selfless man who gave his life in the resistance to Jewish/mud tyranny," but noting "the Church does not condone his acts." A decade and a half later this form of guerrilla warfare resurfaced using the same acronym.

In 1980 Earth First! was founded by and others to confront environmental destruction, primarily of the American West. Inspired by the novel **', Earth First! made use of such techniques as and to stop logging companies, as well as other activities targeted towards mining, road construction, suburban development, and energy companies.
The organization was committed to nonviolent techniques from the group's inception. Others split from the movement in the 1990s, including the Earth Liberation Front (ELF) in 1992, which named itself after the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) which had formed in the 1970s. Three years later in Canada, inspired by the ELF in Europe, the first Earth Liberation direct action occurred, but this time as the Earth Liberation Army (ELA), a similar movement who use ecotage and monkeywrenching as a tool.
A series of actions earned ELF the label of eco-terrorists, including the burning of a ski resort in Vail, Colorado in 1998, and the burning of an SUV dealership in Oregon in 1999. In the same year the ELA made headlines by setting fire to the Vail Resorts in Washington, D.C., causing $12 million in damages. The defendants in that case were later charged in the FBI's "" with other crimes; this was later named by environmentalists as the , alluding to the Red Scare periods of fear over communist infiltration of U.S.
Following the September 11, 2001 attacks several laws were passed increasing the penalty for ecoterrorism, and the U.S. Congress held hearings on the activity of groups such as the ELF. To date no one has been killed as a result of an ELF or ALF action, and both groups forbid harming human or non-human life.
In 2005 the FBI announced that the ELF was America's greatest domestic terrorist threat, responsible for over 1,200 "criminal incidents" amounting to tens of millions of dollars in damage to property. The United States Department of Homeland Security confirmed this with regards to both the ALF and ELF.
launched in 2005, an attempt to combat the growing airport expansions in the UK by using direct action. A year later the first was held, with 600 people attending a protest called Reclaim Power and then converging on Drax Power Station in North Yorkshire in an attempt to shut it down. There were thirty-eight arrests, with four breaching the fence and the railway line being blocked.

网络分析
Leaderless resistance social networks are potentially vulnerable to social network analysis and its derivative, . Link analysis of social networks is the fundamental reason for the ongoing legislative push in the U.S. and the European Union for mandatory and for limiting access to anonymous cellphones, as the stored data contain important network analysis clues.
Network analysis was successfully used by French Colonel to break the between 1955 and 1957 and force them to cease their bombing campaigns. The Algerian conflict may be better described as guerrilla in nature rather than leaderless resistance (see Modern Warfare by Col. Roger Trinquier), and this illustrates the weakness of cell-structured insurgents when compared to leaderless ones. The mapping data were obtained by the use of informants and torture and were used to obtain the identities of important individuals in the resistance; these individuals were then assassinated, which disrupted the Algerian resistance networks. The more irreplaceable the individual is in the adversary's network, the greater the damage is done to the network by removing them.
无领袖抵抗的优势
Traditional organizations leave behind much evidence of their activities, such as money trails, and training and recruitment material. Leaderless resistances, supported more by ideologies than organizations, generally lack such traces. The effects of their operations, as reported by the mass media, act as a sort of messaging and recruitment advertising.
Paul Joosse argues that leaderless resistance movements can avoid the ideological disputes and infighting that plague radical groups. They do this by limiting interaction to the virtual realm.
The internet provides counter-insurgents with further challenges. Individual cells (and even a single person can be a cell) can communicate over the internet, anonymously or semi-anonymously sharing information online, to be found by others through well-known websites. Even when it is legally and technically possible to ascertain who accessed what, it is often practically impossible to discern in a reasonable time frame who is a real threat and who is just curious, a journalist, or a web crawler.
Despite these advantages, leaderless resistance is often unstable. If the actions are not frequent enough or not successful, the stream of publicity, which serves as the recruiting, motivation, and coordination drives for other cells, diminishes. On the other hand, if the actions are too successful, s and other social structures will form that are vulnerable to network analysis.
