The Blue Shirts (Neo-Dào: 蓝衫; Lánshān), officially called the Blue Sun Liberators (蓝日解众; Lánrì Jiězhòng), were a mass ideologically-driven paramilitary movement operated in Daojing, formed as a direct implementation of the anarcho-futurist principles outlined by the Integrative Assembly. Emerging during a period of intense social and cultural transformation, the Blue Shirts aimed to dismantle centralized power structures and enforce the principles of Lanrì. The movement became a significant force in Daojing's societal realignment, particularly in urban centers and hubs.

The Blue Shirts arose as a response to perceived threats to the decentralized ideals of Daojing, including attempts at centralization and reactionary ideologies that sought to undermine the anarcho-futurist system. While lacking formal hierarchies, the movement operated through localized and autonomous cells that coordinated their actions in alignment with Lanrì principles. Members engaged in various activities, such as disrupting centralist organizations, dismantling traditionalist structures, and safeguarding communal technologies against monopolization.

Despite the decentralized nature of the movement, the Committee for Integrative Defense provided overarching strategic guidance, ensuring the Blue Shirts' actions remained aligned with the broader goals of the Integrative Assembly. The Blue Shirts also garnered significant support from Daojing's autonomous communes and circuits, which supplied volunteers and resources for their efforts.

The movement's intensity peaked during the Great Deconstruction Revolution, which saw widespread sabotage of centralist factions, symbolic attacks on relics of pre-Lanrì statism, and the promotion of technological collectivization. However, the lack of central leadership occasionally led to internal conflicts between factions over interpretations of anarcho-futurism.

By the end of 1969, the group as a formal movement had dissolved with many of the members sent to rural areas and countryside in "rehabilitation zones".
