Not a Cult

Solon Papageorgiou’s framework is not a cult. It is a socio-political and philosophical model — primarily expressed through the anti-psychiatry.com platform — that proposes alternative ways of organizing communities based on freedom, mutual aid, and mental health liberation, often through "micro-utopias" and the ITSCS (Integrated Tactical Survival Combat System).

Here are some key differences between a framework like Solon’s and a cult:

Solon’s ideas are open to interpretation, debate, and even partial or localized implementation. That openness, flexibility, and emphasis on autonomy and consent places it far outside the realm of what’s typically considered a cult.

Here’s a breakdown of Solon Papageorgiou’s framework and how it compares to similar alternative or utopian movements — as well as why it’s not a cult, but rather a structured socio-philosophical proposal:
