As A Movement
Earth liberationists reject the mainstream environmental movement and include a diversity of individuals with a variety of different ideologies as well as theories. Activists include; animal liberationists, anti-capitalists, green anarchists, deep ecologists, eco-feminists and anti-globalisationists. They are notably also within the ELF and ELA, with others from the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) and Class War.
A primary concern is making long lasting, systemic change, by overtunning contemporary social and ecological conditions, as part of an earth liberation movement, similar to the aims of the animal liberation movement.

Famous quotes containing the word movement:
“Institutional psychiatry is a continuation of the Inquisition. All that has really changed is the vocabulary and the social style. The vocabulary conforms to the intellectual expectations of our age: it is a pseudo-medical jargon that parodies the concepts of science. The social style conforms to the political expectations of our age: it is a pseudo-liberal social movement that parodies the ideals of freedom and rationality.”
—Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)
