Green Party Flunkies

author: Bent Seattle

Who does the anti-war movement serve? The flunkies in the Democratic Party. Becoming a Green candidate serves the same purpose.

At present the antiwar movement is dominated by the big liberal coalitions which promote the policy of alliance with the Democratic Party and Green Parties. These parties suck the energy of activists into dead-end schemes that will supposedly (if only activists are willing to give up their militancy and learn to kiss ass) turn their into an antiwar party.

I oppose the domination of the antiwar movement by flunkies -- the coalitions which have an open (or hidden) alliance with a section of the Democratic Party. I tell other activists the simple truth: the Green Party is an imperialist party to the core -- this imperialist party is "helping" the antiwar movement for one reason only: in order to hijack this movement and lead it into the gutter and destroy it.

disinformation

The quote above is cut and paste disinformation. Some of the words are mine. Other words (ie: "green party") have been substituted for others. The guy who did this appears to be the same one who persuaded the indymedia editorial person to censor my posts from the newswire.

The post with my real quote (deleted from the newswire but still in the archives) can be read here:

If you don't have a better alternative to what exists now, besides retreating back into organizational cultism, SHUT UP! The people wnat answers and leadership, not dogma and tired rhetoric that don't put food on the table!

readers decide for themselves whether or not I offer any solutions when they read my views as expressed in my own words rather than your crude cut and paste disinformation.

If you feel compelled to cut and paste and rearrange by words and then pretend that you are me -- this makes clear that you do not trust readers to draw their own conclusions.

this is further shown by your efforts to remove my postings from the newswire. This not only attacks my right to post -- but represents an attack on the right of readers to read my posts.

I will not be suprised if this bit of disinformation is removed now that I have taken the time to expose it and expose you.

It would be better if the indymedia editor left it up so that readers can see the dishonest method that you use.

want to end Amerikan Imperialism?

if you want to end Amerikan Imperialism then balkanize the USA. Start pushing these damn Greens that think working in the corrupt system will work. Start demanding Cascadian Independence. Want to end Corporate Tyrrany in our forests, oceans and farmlands? The break up the protector the Corporatism ie The Dis-United States.

Probably Jim Ramm again

Lets see... an attack on Greens, check.
A post lifted from someone else and reworded slightly, check.
Rambling incoherence and political analysis from a position of ignorance, check.

Yep, if it walks like a duck and quacks like an idiot, it must be Jimbo again.

Oops, that's playing unfair - I'm personally calling Jimbo an idiot. But then, truth is an absolute defense to libel!

Ben Seattle didn't disavow the sentiment, but that he didn't post it. So let's check:

Ben, what is your position on the Green Pary?
