: : I seem to recall Marx saying 'Look, the grass is green.' Does that make Green grass communist? Interesting that the greens don't hide the fact that they have an economic/social agenda but you bristle at the charge of red/greens. It's even part of their platform which includes community based economics (euphamism for what collectivist plan? - I can't say because it isn't eloborated on anywhere I can find), feminism, democracy, non-violence, and social justice - all well intentioned stuff but all linked only periferally to the ecological movement. In fact, it sounds more and more like Gaia every day. Isn't it interesting to note how the green movement has grown to include such concepts. It might appear to be the natural proliferation of reasoning that in order to effect a true green philosophy, that the previously listed causes would and must be implemented. But I think the fact that the greens include that stuff is because ideologically, that other stuff is the core of their agenda and the green part helps to enable the play. If they admit that they have an agenda that extends far outside of any ostensible ecological agenda and if you admit to having Marxist leanings is it such a stretch to assume something more lies beneath the placidly earthtone exterior of the Greens?
It may be perfect poetic justice to note that God created this planet such that green and red mixed together creates brown.
