If no communist organization exists at all in the country you live in, what do you think of joining the green parties, to get organized?

    Usually green parties are objectively rightwing, but like, if they were the most rightwing we had it would be nice

    Now eco grassroots movements with direct action, way better than a bourgeois party to learn how to organise. You’ll be with a massive amount of whackos and potentially terfs and anti-communists but if you join the greens you’ll have to uphold those positions not just hear about them

    Another option would be anti-fascist groups

      Well democratic centralism is a communist value. Maybe green parties allow lines to be disputed?

      Also, green parties feel like a place where the leftmost leaning people would gravitate towards, possibly eventually spawning a communist party? Or is that too much idealism?

      In the meantime wouldn’t it be a place to be social and avoid going insane through means of discussions with brainwashed liberals?

      I also just learned that ideology for “green” parties are spread all over the place. I though “green” was a unifying concept, but it isn’t. D:

        Quick way to be ignored, green parties tend to emphasize electorism and you will quickly find any edge point you make gets diluted through ‘we need to compromise to appeal to the center’ bullshit libs pull.

        You’re better of donating your time to an actual socialist project, or even a green-anarchist one.

        Depends how much ‘nuclear is as bad as coal’ you can stomach.

        It’s hit or miss. There are some good green candidates that take more of an intersectional approach but they seem rare to me. Maybe there are more in the rank and file.
