I've seen heaps of suggestion on this site that the Greens are some sort of radical option and I once used to think that way myself. The facts show the Greens are not an anticapitalist option. The won't even support the modest workingclass demand to take GST off food. They support "our police". They support "our troops" fucking round in other peoples coutries and endorse the false notion that these troops are "peacekeepers".
The Greens foster the narrow divisive political con trick of New Zealand nationalism as eagerly as Helen Clark.
Rod Donald's last political action was to host a Green function for business leaders with the specific aim of showing them the Greens were business friendly.
There have been and still are a lot of good folks in the green movement, but the party is a fully fledged part of the capitalist club.
