The Climate Action youth movement is sometimes explicitly anti-capitalist in a very "direct action" way.

Vandalising banks is stupid and also an efficient way to make powerful people dislike you.

Probably the movement to squat in empty buildings and organize more of the same in response to pandemic evictions, that's been getting the kind of attention its very dangerous for left wing groups to get.

They do seem to be a far left group using the "climate" umbrella. This squatting 'action' has nothing to do with the environment, it's class struggle.

Unfortunately this sort of extremist group is harmful to people and organisations genuinely trying to do something for the environment.

unfortunately, climate is a class issue
