Activism: a psychoanalytic schema in three movements
ACTIVISM: What Real activists think they do.
SLACKTIVISM: What Real activists think radical-cultural-interventionists do.
LACKTIVISM: What radical-cultural-interventionists think Real activists do.
FACTIVISTS: would-be-activists who sift through the facts and then realise that they missed the 10am sunday morning refugee rally cos they were up late on saturday night doing the guardian crossword/arguing about the exact date that Group 4 took over the contract from ACM (27/8/03). Good at quiz nights, not so good for The Revolution.

CRACKTIVISTS/SMACKTIVISTS - those who are just in it for the drugs.
KEROUACTIVISTS - those who are just in it for the black skivvys, the berets and the ladies.
WHACKTIVISTS - undercover cops who pose as activists to be in a better position to Hit Them With Sticks during protests.
