What is 社会運動標榜?


What is 社会運動標榜 and how is it different from 社会運動家 ?

The first is criminal in Japan and the second is not, but I'm not clear on the
differences.

Props if you can also explain how this may or may not relate to a political
lobby.

Ref.
[社会運動標榜ゴロ](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%A4%BE%E4%BC%9A%E9%81%8B%E5%8B%95%E6%A8%99%E6%A6%9C%E3%82%B4%E3%83%AD)




  * **社会運動** : (noun) "social movement"
  * **家【か】** : (postfix) "-ist", "-er"
  * **社会運動家** : (noun) "social activist" (neutral)
  * **標榜** : (noun, suru-verb) "advocate"
  * **社会運動標榜** : "social-movement-advocating"
  * **ゴロ** : (noun, jargon) "public enemy", "person/group who does illegal actions" (from [ゴロツキ](http://jisho.org/word/%E7%A0%B4%E8%90%BD%E6%88%B8) "rogue", "thug")

So 社会運動標榜ゴロ is "social-movement-advocating" + "rogue". It refers to an
organization that makes money by unjustifiable, illegal means, while
pretending to be a benign political or social organization. For example, a
group that does charity donation frauds is a 社会運動標榜ゴロ.

To be clear, the 社会運動標榜 part by itself does not have the illegal connotation.
ゴロ does.
