@michaeljdocherty @RichardJMurphy @greenparty "Not plundering the planet for short term gains" - that's fine as a principle, but Prof. Murphy's point is that to translate that into reality you need workable mechanisms. He is in tune with the UK Greens' aims but thinks their current economic/monetary policies are not workable, and he is a genuine expert in that field. ๐Ÿค”

@RichardJMurphy I've been leaning towards the Greens recently, so I find this critique of their economic policy disturbing. I wonder if someone from could respond to this?

@Snoro I needed to read this. We must keep campaigning. The Tories seem not to care, so Labour or Greens are our only hope.

The Greens have launched their local elections campaign with a pledge to push for rent controls and a mass programme of council houses built to โ€œPassivhausโ€ environmental standards, with the party predicting further gains on 4 May.

Good from Carla Denyer, Co-Leader of the Green Party:

โ€œThis was presented as a budget for growth. But we know from past experience that an obsessive focus on economic growth enriches the few, impoverishes many and wrecks our climate while trashing the natural world. This business-as-usual approach certainly does result in growth โ€“ growth in air pollution, growth in sewage discharges into our waterways and coastline and growth in inequality.

You'll soon find lots of... lively debate. ๐Ÿ˜€

*The Labour and Green Party hashtags may return other countries' political discussion.

"Der Antisemitismus ist der Sozialismus der dummen Kerle"

Is a famous quote.
I think we should add a second sentence.

Der Transphobie ist der Sozialismus der dummen Kerle

And maybe a few more for good measure.

Der Antisemitismus, Transphobie, Rassismus unt Homophobie ist der Sozialismus der dummen Kerle!

The meaning is simple, alas it is a lesson the fails to heed from history.
