[Marxism] the worthless greens

[Dbachmozart@xxxxxxx]

Douglas MacDonald writes -

The  Green Party is nothing more than a confused united front of good
intentioned  but dissolusioned democratic party libereals and a-historical
non-materialist  syndacalist-like activists.  Hence, the debate on most Green 
Lists in
2004 was whether to  to back Kucinich or the safe-state strategy of   "what's
his name".
  What a static and anti-dialectical view of a political  organization! The
great majority of the Green ranks, in supporting Nader  took a strong and
highly principled stand in the face of great hostility,  against lesser evilism 
and
political independence for the left. In the fight  against ABB and Demogreens
they received an inoculation against the siren call  of the Democrats. For
the most part they have taken an uncompromising stand  against the war for
empire. The revolutionary socialist movement today is in the  stage of 
"primitive
accumulation" of fighters for a better world. Rather than  counterpose a non
existent independent workers party, we should be inside  the Greens, using our
experiences to help further the process of their political  evolution.In the
absence of the working class and Black "upsurge" that some on  this list have
been expecting for the last thirty years, the Greens, with all  their
shortcomings are the only game in town.
