Summary/Abstract: The author assumed that the politics can assume forms classical (administration, diplomacy) as well as non-classical. They can assume the form both strong, and weak. Non-classical forms manifest itself among others in manifestations of social anger on the practice of the administration. Their example is e.g. the Indignant Movement. Non-classical forms appear when the standard forms of the pressure on the authority are disappointed. In this kind of phenomena it is possible to search out the way of leading the dialogue of the society with decision-makers as well as the form of the moral pressure on the authority. It is also a specific kind of appeal to a sense of justice and the decency to the ones which betrayed for delivered by oneself values.
