Fictional resistance movements and groups commonly appear in dystopian fiction, opposing tyranny.
In Chuck Palahniuk's Fight Club, the tyranny is the soul-destroying life of modern western society.
The protagonist rebels against this by organising atavistic bare-knuckle fights and then by leading Project Mayhem to destroy civilization.
This story developed themes of alienation and anti-consumerism seen in earlier works such as Rebel without a Cause and The Prisoner.
