 Exiles - Political, and Philosophical Observations
The Green Party’s "statement of core values" is especially useful to consider because they contain most of the major themes found throughout the green movements.(3) The basis of these core values is justice, a notion upon which the Greens are building their electoral campaign.
As a result, Green ideology must consider the whole globe its moral community and support, or remain tolerant at least, of multiculturalism and minority groups and new social movements, many of which are subject to oppression or exploitation.
Green eclecticism and core values may have resulted in a new kind of ideology with its core being "the belief that our ethical relations with non-human nature and the finite character of resources need to be central in political reflections".(31) These ethical relations take the form of the triune justice described above.

 Green Political Thought   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
In this sense, the radical wing of the green movement is in a position more akin to that of the early liberals than of the early socialists--it is self-consciously seeking to call into question an entire world-view rather than tinker with one that already exists.
At root, proposes Joe Weston, the green movement's mistake is to refuse a class analysis of society--it 'argues that traditional class divisions are at an end" and uses the concept "industrial society--to distinguish contemporary society from orthodox capitalism;.
Either way, the nascent green movement was generally presented as a blip on the screen of radical politics, which would, probably, soon disappear and which, certainly, had nothing to say to the left that was worth listening to.

 Thought You Should Know - Journalists' Green Hysteria
American greens falsely claimed that this owl was a species and was endangered by logging operations in the Northwest.
Green activist Randall O'Toole made this abundantly clear when he stated: "Cumulatively the environmental movement is interested in shutting down the [logging] industry", Newsweek, 30/9/91.
What the Greens have on their side, apart from a hoard of non-thinking dishonest 'journalists', is the little-known fact that there is no strict definition of a species.

Because this connection between the traditional and the derived ideology is very much a lived one, as Greens we find ourselves contending, not on some uniform, national slate of issues, but on a wide variety of terrains depending on the political opportunities and on the organizing and issue contexts available in our communities.
Greens understand that elected government is not the only realm of power—and that it is in fact subordinate to the economic realm and in many ways to the non-elected professional bureaucracy.

 "Dimensions of Integral Politics", an essay by Greg Wilpert
This mapping of political ideologies is based on Wilber's general framework and agrees to a large extent with his political analysis, particularly as he outlines it in his introduction to Volume 8 of his collected works.
One of the very few ideologies that supports transformative change is Marxism, in that it argues that capitalism is merely one stage in the development of society and that anyone who is concerned with the full development of humanity should fight for the next stage, which would be Communism according to Marx.
Still, considering that the German green movement is one of the strongest in the world, it is legitimate to use this movement as an example of green ideology.

 A short history of The Greens.
Generally however, the Green Party of the United States (GPUS) is considered to be a more conservative (mainstream liberal third party) organization and is the one that the Van Buren County Greens and the Green Party of Arkansas are affiliated with.

Thus the overall Green effort is further enhanced by the addition of measurable energy to the rich diversity that has always been and continues to be a hallmark of overall Green ideology.

 S/R 23: Community-Based Economics: Answers to Respondents   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
A key part of Green ideology is recognition of limits.
The latter can't be "guaranteed" without positing an overarching world government/world police force, which ideas ought to be anathema to the Greens (who should recognize that one community's idea of economic democracy is another community's idea of inefficiency or regimentation).
Green economics points in an entirely different direction: toward more local self-sufficiency (though not autarky); toward living more lightly upon the earth; toward valuing deep community rather than high technology or maximal development.

 Ecofascism / Fascist Ideology: The Green Wing of the Nazi Party and its Historical Antecedents by Peter Staudenmaier
This passage recapitulates almost all of the tropes comprised by classical ecofascist ideology: Lebensraum, Heimat, the agrarian mystique, the health of the Volk, closeness to and respect for nature (explicitly constructed as the standard against which society is to be judged), maintaining nature's precarious balance, and the earthy powers of the soil and its creatures.
The "green wing" of the NSDAP was not a group of innocents, confused and manipulated idealists, or reformers from within; they were conscious promoters and executors of a vile program explicitly dedicated to inhuman racist violence, massive political repression and worldwide military domination.
The experience of the "green wing" of German fascism is a sobering reminder of the political volatility of ecology.

Greens stand for not just a few policy changes nor for getting a few progressive elected officals in positions of political power; we stand for a new and different system.
It ruins the long-term credibility of Greens to continually suggest that we go and work for other parties, parties that have consistently moved rightward and whose occasional and incremental movements to the left have only taken place because of titanic pressures from the street when the aspirations of progressives had no visionary electoral outlet.
José M. Tirado, formerly in the Green Party of California, was a union president at Warner Bros. Pictures, co-founder of the Latino Writers Group, charter-chair of the Colorado Buddhist Alliance for Social Engagement (BASE) and long time activist in the Engaged Buddhism movement.
