First of all, we have to define "survival."  One would say the enviromental movement, post "Silent Spring," the big blue marble and Earth Day, etc. is an obvious "survival movement."
   
  Less obvious, we could redefine "survival" in socioeconomic terms and end up with Marxism/Socialism as a "survival movement."  Or if survival is defined in cultural terms, the indigenous movements of post-colonial indigenous peoples, like the Aborigines, Maoris, Native Americans, etc.
   
  See my meaning?

I'd like to take this a step further. Can you find parallels in society in
which a movement was developed for the sake of survival?
