: :Double standard? Go back and read about grassroots democracy, or Murray Bookchin, or Walt Sheasby's stuff on Green Marxism, or something along those lines. Let's avoid the "no true Scotsman" argument -- "No true socialist would support the Green Party"...: But how could a rational socialist support a reformist platform? Specifically when we know that reforms cannot work, because the market won't allow it.
SDF: Not all Greens support reformist platforms, RD.

: We do contact them, and tell them their going wrong- my local green councillor teaches William Morris, he knows our platform...their not ignorant, they're just on teh wrong track.
SDF: Have you tried to persuade people by more effective means than by telling them they're wrong?
Or tell me this: at the rate you're telling people they're wrong, the people will have converted to World Socialism and the revolution will happen... when?
