 Green Party Review » Why Joan Russow left the Green Party
Poor Joan was never able to understand the Green Party, which is why she was so frustrated with it when it she was involved.
Russow defines “non-violence” the same way Gandhi defined “pacifism”, and like him would have dealt with the Holocaust by suggesting that the Jews commit mass suicide in order to shame the German nation.
Joan never understood that the overwhelming majority of Green Party members really do believe in the maxim “Neither Left, nor Right—-just out in front leading the way!” We are sick of partisan head-butting contests and seek out the best parts of all people’s viewpoints in order to integrate them into some sort of coherent whole.
