What are some interesting non-mainstream political movements like the Prohibition movement in the US?

I want to check them out.

One that is always floating around the edges of libertarianism is seasteading -- setting up a microstate at sea, independent of all existing nation-states:

And the Prohibition Party is of course still around:

I've always been confused by post-left anarchy, you might want to check that out.

...I will really have to check out that Prohibition one , thank you !
Before the elction , someone here said he was going to vote for them - I was at least a touch suprised that they were still together enough to offer a candidate !
Given that the Conventional Wisdom about what they name themself after is that Prohibition in America was an awful idea , a mistake , a disaster (Well --- maybe if you like the Kennedy family,s presence in politics , maybe Prohibition was okay then ! !! !! !! !! Oooh , WHAT I SAID :wink: :twisted: ! !! !! !! !! !!) , it,s interesting too see they Pros still go on ,
From my ultra-brief scan of their platform they seem to be pushing a kind of : traditionalist conservatism : - not Bush or Trump conservatism , maybe the sort of thing that people in the 6os/70s thought was really conservative ,

Maybe you can be the one who will bring back the..."Anti Masonic Party"!

In pre Civil War America just about every presidential election had a minor candidate from the "Anti Masonic Party".

I guess there were enough voters in early America who were afraid of the Freemasons that they were able to form a political party comparable to the Libertarians, or to the Greens, of today.

And...gosh darn it! Any one who has seen a movie based upon a Dan Brown novel KNOWS that we still need to overthrow the Freemasons! So get on it!
