ok kind of a dumb question but help me avoid a headache and indulge some nerds. i'm preparing a game and you got this fairly standard medieval fantasy world and the game starts with characters joining a group that plans to overthrow the dominant kingdom because (shocker) it's kinda bad. they don't really have a plan they just want to kill the king and presumably rule in his stead. the vagueness is intentional and is part of it, the players are meant to take charge give the movement direction. anyway when i ran this game for my lib friends i just referred to the group as anarchists and nobody questioned it. but now i'm going to run this game for a bunch of commies and i just know they're gonna be on my ass for it being annoying little nerds since it's technically not anarchism™. so what would you call a group trying to overthrow a feudal state?

    A lot of medieval radical groups were called by the name of one of their leaders, or by the town where they started

    oh thats interesting, never knew that
