[Marxism] What are the Greens, or waiting for the industrial proletarian Godot

[Bonnie Weinstein]

No, Mark, but they can't cave and support Democrats when it gets down to the
nitty-gritty and that's the problem with the Greens. When push comes to
shove they tow the line in support of lesser-evil politics and in support of
full-blown Democratic party capitalist politicians.

This ain't no game. You can't claim to be against the injustice brought
about by capitalism and then support capitalist politicians!

My goodness, the Greens supported one of the most conservative Democratic
Party Politicians--John Kerry--when push came to shove! Do you actually
think things would be different under Kerry?

Clearly our lives are in the balance and it does make a difference whether
you are clear about who the real enemy is‹the war profiteers‹the U.S.
Capitalist Class and their lackeys.
