At a guess: Spoiled children of rich families who want to be MLK but cant find an oppressor to fight against and thus make them up.

As Orwell argued, there's lots of scope for improving our society that doesn't neglect our best traditions in favour of wideranging faction-based politics. But it involves lots of working with people on the ground, with sweat and compromises every day, and no dramatic signal turning points to point to as a marker of one's achievements. Imagine Spielberg's Lincoln, but instead of the passing of the 13th amendment, what you see is the daily grind of deciding who gets funding and who misses out, while you do your damned best to see that what funding you can get for someone's mini project is efficiently used. Even the supposed good guys are an oppressor to someone to whom they've denied funding, yet how do you satisfy everyone? Those who dedicate their lives to doing their best for the underprivileged are my heroes, even if I don't agree with every decision they make.

I'm reminded of Orwell's comment about a certain tendency of the left to identify itself with Communism, resulting in whitewashing (redwashing?) anything the USSR does whilst portraying anything the liberal democracies do as in the wrong. The USSR is dead, but that tendency is still there, but their ideological ally of choice is now the anti-Christian-Jewish religious fundies. For the most part, this means allying with Islamism.

Leftists actually have a word for these people, they call them tankies.
