	Alliance for Green Socialism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Alliance for Green Socialism (AGS) is a socialist grouping based in Leeds in the United Kingdom.
		Both these groups had been in the former Socialist Alliance and the AGS remained involved in it too until it was dissolved in February 2005.
		It later became active in the Socialist Alliance Democracy Platform and contested the 2005 UK general election as part of the Socialist Green Unity Coalition, standing candidates in Yorkshire and Brighton.

	AGS: About the AGS
		The Alliance for Green Socialism is a political organisation devoted to the building of a peaceful, environmentally safe and socially responsible world.
		Green is for a world where the serious issues of pollution and global warming are properly dealt with.
		Socialism is the opposite of such a system in which the needs of the people take priority and the power of big business is curbed.

	Greens and Libertarians
		The Green Party is made up mostly of former liberals who object to the Democratic Party's penchant for centralized bureaucracy and its frequent hypocritical disregard for natural systems of ecological balance, ranging from the human metabolism and the family unit to the ecology of the planet.
		Greens on the other hand, embrace immediate proposals with ease, but are often unable to show how those proposals fit in to their ultimate goals.
		Greens who study this issue will find that small and simple combination taxes that are essentially payments for exclusive access to common resources will address most of thier interests without complicated and intrusive bureaucracies.

	Socialism Today - Germany: left alliance promises fresh breeze
		Social policy has always been like a foreign language to them, but they now speak of basic security for everyone to guarantee a life out of poverty.
		Quite rightly, the new left alliance is also seen as a threat by the far-right and fascist parties which thought they would be able to benefit by getting the support of non-voters who no longer feel represented by any party.
		Lafontaine, who still views himself as a social democrat, was chair of the SPD until 1999 and, therefore, is co-responsible for the SPD’s shift to the right.

	Denmark’s Red-Green Alliance: a participant offers proposals for building on a left success story (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Red-Green Alliance was formed in 1989 by three leftwing parties — the Left Socialist Party (VS), the Communist Party of Denmark (DKP) and the Socialist Workers Party (SAP, a party of the Fourth International) — as well as independent socialists.
		Second, the Red-Green Alliance was from the outset an electoral coalition, aiming towards seats in the parliament.
		Fourth, the alliance is clearly not dominated by women, workers or members with immigrant backgrounds — with notable and important exceptions (for example the female members of parliament, other elected representatives and dozens and dozens of talented activists).

	The red-green alliance against the West
		What is really striking, however, is the resemblance of the green movement to revolutionary millenarianism — with one crucial difference: the top echelon of the green movement consists largely of intellectuals, the spoiled and selfish offspring of an affluent and indulgent capitalist society.
		One thing is certain: green utopians will continue to have successes against economic growth until the masses are made aware that it is their welfare, their jobs, their living standards and their families that are being sacrificed to satisfy the greens’ utopian fantasy.
		The greens, like the communists and Nazis before them, are inordinate, i.e., there is no limit to their demands.

		She represented the left in the party and took it into a 'progressive' alliance with the social democrats on a programme including the 35-hour week and voting rights for immigrants.
		Green activists are currently involved in community-based campaigns, such as DAL (for the homeless), or syndicalist movements, like the SUD trade unions.
		He and others, including Green MEP N Mamere, are now talking about a new concept of the 'third left' - a 'social-liberal' project - to occupy the vacuum on the left of the PS which the Parti Communiste has failed to fill.

		As a national level, a national alliance of Green activist, ‘The Alternative Political Alliance, the greens’ won 3.2 per cent of German votes in the 1979 European Parliament elections that motivated more diverse groups to launch the Greens as a new national party on 13 January 1980.
		The Peace Manifesto was drafted by the Green Party’s Offenbach Congress in 1981 to establish the Greens as the political wing of the Peace movement and initiated the actions of the Ecopax alliance.
		Green activists had been arguing over how the ‘two German state concept would work’ and how a third way between corporate capitalism and state socialism could be followed by East Germany.

	Weekly Worker 454 Thursday October 31 2002
		The article ‘Partners or rivals’, published last week, has provoked this indignant memo from Mike Davies, chair of the Alliance for Green Socialism.
		Comrade Davies, from the minority Left Alliance wing of the newly merged organisation (the other wing being the ex-‘official communist’ Green Socialist Network), seems to regard himself as the Arthur Scargill of the AGS, for whom ‘open’ means ‘closed’ and vice versa
		A major strength of both the Green Socialist Network and the Left Alliance was that, in both organisations, committee members were friendly and open.

		The Alliance for Green Socialism, on the other hand, will not achieve the same vote here, but it is a clear and principled left vote.

		With Euro votes of 6.2 per cent for the Greens, 5.2 per cent for the Scottish Socialist Party and 1.7 per cent for Respect, the left did not break the mould of British politics.
		Garth Frankland for the Alliance for Green Socialism won more than 1,000 votes in Leeds, and Glyn Davies in Flintshire stood for the Communist Party and still managed to win 21.6 per cent.
		First, that the Green and Respect votes are not in direct competition: the two organisations have different constituencies, despite a great overlap of policies.

	The Green Party and the Future of the US Left
		At the Green Congress in 1991, the model of separate movement and party organizations was overwhelmingly rejected in favor of a movement-based party engaged in both electoral and extra-electoral action.
		The Greens will have to clear that they are not about moving the Democrats to the left, but about building an alternative to it with class independence from the corporate rulers, including their “liberal” style of political representatives in the Democratic Party.
		The Greens need to run a presidential slate in 2004 because the presidential race is the political process in which most Americans pay some attention and it is the campaign in which millions of people can be reached, mobilized, and organized, as Nader’s 2000 campaign demonstrated.

	Frontline 9 - The Socialist Alliance - where next?
		The impending war in the Middle East, the ongoing FBU dispute, and the increasing unpopularity of the Blair government are creating significant opportunities for the SA and the Left in England generally.
		Independent members of the SA who attended the European Social Forum report that the SA was virtually invisible there, and had produced no material for the event.
		An Alliance that sees itself as being there primarily to "offer a home" to disillusioned Labour supporters, as the SWP have posed it, will not be able to take advantage of the opportunities that are opening up in the unions, the anti-war movement and the anti-capitalist movement.

		As well as independent members, there are members of the Alliance for Workers’ Liberty, Alliance for Green Socialism, the Communist Party of Great Britain, the Democratic Socialist Alliance, the Republican Communist Network (Scotland), the Revolutionary Democratic Group, the Socialist Unity Network, the United Socialist Party, the Socialist Unity Network and the Walsall Democratic Labour Party.
		The majority of the Socialist Alliance led by the SWP left the SA to put all their efforts into Respect.
		Therefore 2005 was the year that the old SA gave birth to both Respect and a new SA, which some comrades call ‘Arise’ (Alliance for republicanism, internationalism, socialism and the environment).

	Socialist Alliance (England) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Socialist Alliance was a left-wing electoral alliance in England in existence between 1992 and 2005.
		The Socialist Alliance was named and expanded in 1999, when other Trotskyist groups including the Socialist Workers Party and Workers Power joined, as did the formerly separate London Socialist Alliance.
		The Socialist Alliance has been riven by feuds, mostly concerning the behaviour of the Socialist Workers Party, which was by far the largest group participating in the Alliance, and which many felt dominated it.

		The Green Party has identified five key constituencies it is targeting at the general election, and right at the forefront is a seat on the south coast.
		The Greens also point to a significant showing at the Brighton and Hove City Council local election in 2003, as well as the continuing presence of Caroline Lucas as a Green MEP in the South East.
		His view is that even though the Greens have seen success at local and European elections in recent years, at general elections they rarely achieve more than a "pretty poor third or fourth".

		The construction of a mighty mass party, which stood clearly under the signboard of socialism in the first instance, the Workers Party (PT) in Brazil, began its life in a series of ‘assemblies’ where the idea of such a party was propagated by authoritative figures such as Lula, then a workers’ leader.
		The petty-bourgeois greens of the AGS take such reformist notions to their logical conclusion with demands that Britain and other imperialist powers act as a progressive force in world politics.
		Its alliance with the AGS is simply a political non-aggression pact, which is why it describes all its bloc partners, including the AGS, as 'socialist'.

		Critics of the Greens may be quick to write them off as ‘petit-bourgeois reformists’, but many of the candidates in this election are standing on very progressive platforms that may be worth the attention of any red-blooded socialist.
		The Green Party is promoting eight key pledges, including promises to expose British contractors’ role in profiteering from foreign aid and shut the revolving door between government and big business.
