The Greens call themselves an ecosocialist party so we would expect that they might call for expropriation of capitalists and the nationalization of the banks and the public utilities. They do neither. In fact, according to this article the word “working class” and “capitalist class” aren’t mentioned in their platform. Lastly, in defending voting for a Green, Hawkins said that their presence in elections helps the Democratic party to win by moving them further left. The Greens don’t seem to be convinced that the Democratic Party is a ruling class party. We don’t like the tone of this article, but we think it makes excellent points.
