 John Quiggin: Greens' economic policy
Nevertheless, anyone who decides to vote for the Greens on the strength of their support for the environment and opposition to war should be encouraged to know that they are also choosing a party with a policy that is economically as well as socially responsible.
Green voters are well to the left of ALP voters on their attitudes to economic policy as shown by the research of Clive Bean on the 2001 election.
Where the Greens are due some credit - and JQ has done us a service by highlighting this - is that they have been honest and rigorous enough to be: 1) reasonably transparent with their policy platform; and 2) rigorous and consistent in the articulation of that platform.

 S/R 21: Community-Based Economics (Welzer)
If Greens advocate regionalization of economic activity and hold out a vision of diverse and decentralized communities, it would be contradictory for us to advocate uniformity in regard to property relations or a single economic system as "best" for all communities.
Economic relations must change, but at this point of historical crisis our overarching objective must be to consciously (albeit gradually) shift toward a different way of life—characterized by sustainability, a more harmonious balance between the natural ecosphere and the human-made technosphere, a recognition of limits, and a restoration of community.
As social relations became increasingly more impersonal within the context of mass society and economic relations were increasingly characterized by external (distant) ownership and control, the general population, rather than just conquered or imported outsiders, became subject to being treated as mere factors of production.

If the Green objective is to present capitalism with a human face by turning the "class" issue into an ecological one, by which humanity is seen as a subordinate component of nature, similar to its subjugation by a ruling class, then it raises an interesting question about the boundaries of human intellectual potential and creativity.

 The German Green Party at war   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)

 Why socialists should preference Greens before Labor   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
It is the Greens' bottom-line parliamentarist approach that explains why it is at election times that they become most visible on the streets, that they devote more resources to public campaigning and mobilising their members than at any other time of the year.
This reflects their refusal to recognise that the big decisions in capitalist society are not made in the parliaments; they are made in the corporate boardrooms, on the stock exchanges and in the top echelons of the government bureaucracy.
The Greens, on the other hand, are a party which seeks to utilise the democratic institutions of the capitalist state to improve the lives of working people, particularly the middle-class elements among them.

The American people have politicial parties to work for them politically, but only the Green Party and the Libertarian Party appear to be doing that.
Green Party organizers and activists call the policies of the Bush Administration irresponsible and reckless, and warn of severe damage to the world environment, to the U.S. economy, and to the role of the U.S. in international relations.
But Greens say that the lack of a strong, unified response from Democrats in Congress on many of these policies -- and even some Democratic collusion in their introduction and passage -- shows the urgent need for a progressive third party.
