What I imagine, from my experience of activist groups in the past, is that it is a mixture of large number of sympathisers, fellow travellers and useful idiots, with a small number of dedicated and passionate activists.


Pretty much. A lot like ELF/ALF, where people just pick up the ideology independently and do their own thing, with varying degrees of success and buffoonery.
