As I see it,,, activism has been a central part of society since the dawn of man. It is a way for people to stand-up against an injustice.
The only thing bad about activism is when it gets out of control and people start damaging property, looting, and hurting one another.
Non-violent activist,

Anti-austerity I get, when vulnerable people like the disabled or elderly are affected.
However some of the anti-capitalism irks me a bit. I've worked the majority of my working life doing crazy hours and on minimum wage, and it's only through hard work that I've been able to progress and earn more. There seems to be this feeling that those who earn more should be punished but not everyone has been born with a silver spoon in their mouth. I do believe though that some of our services people like nurses deserve better pay.

I dont think we should punish rich people but loop holes they use once rich should be closed, hard work i have done and non hard work and i paid my fair share. I don't think any publically employed person should be on any amount more than the PM but for sure nurses/firemen/police need raises yet another argument of mine is you never see people in them jobs just like teachers arguing about funds for their jobs its all about their wages and pensions.
