Power corrupts, thinking otherwise is foolish.

Yes, that's not being anti-banking. It's being anti-corruption, anti-plutocracy. They want reinstitution of Glass-Steagall, control and regulation over unregulated derivatives markets, they want a tax of 0.1% on all trades (to slow down market volitility) and 0.01% tax on derivatives. They are not "anti-banking".

They are also not anti-government, but want 100% of the corruption and lobbyists out of Washington.
