Are left-wing social activist protestors motivated by a desire for social change . . .

. . . or are many of them more motivated to make themselves appear morally superior to those on the other side of the issue?

That will depend on which people we're talking about, when and where. There have been places and times when reforms were badly needed, equality is rarely given , one has to fight for it.
But anger must be channelled into political action, that's when it can become a paradoxical struggle, when the end is supposed to justify unethical means.
Some left-wing militants are definitely attracted to violence, it's like some kind of extreme sport. But then that's also where they meet their right-wing nationalist counterparts.
