I've been looking at the green party and it looks like just what I've been looking for. They want to fight for worker's rights, encourage greener technology, protect our environment, help small businesses and has declined $50,000 in campaign money by the energy sector for ethical reasons and will continue to decline corporate money. Here's the website if you want to check it out: http://www.gp.org/
Read the Platform @ http://www.gp.org/committees/platform/2010/index.php Green Parties and candidates do not accept corporate donations. Green Parties advocate IRV (instant run-off voting), and free air time for all serious candidates, and stand for social justice as much as for environmental justice. Just like the occupations, don't "trust them", be us! List of USGP affiliated GP sites by state @ http://www.gp.org/states.shtml . Most state and local parties use modified consensus decision making, hold to no ideology, and are open to new volunteers, members, and informed candidates from every walk of life and previous political disposition. If you find an exception, change it, make it everyones'.
greens are another corporate oligarchy chess color.
sum truth? Allness is my god
I told you. They have declined campaign money and will continue to do so. They're mostly there to influence the democratic party with its core values. But we could change that and actually get a third party candidate elected to office for the first time in US history.
i can't trust them, for twenty good reasons.

the venus project is a cult
John, you are acting as bad as you say, they do, if not worse. You're trying to derail the conversation, through a strawman fallacy http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/straw-man.html You've got some good ideas too, but this isn't one of them ;)
i'm hardly derailing any conversation. any time spent or energy given to them is a waste of time. it is hardly a straw man argument to point out their self destructive and abusive ideology and behaviors. Until they quit being evil and stop being a cult it is my responsibility to call them on it and warn the public. If that bothers you then you need to keep framing that discussion as me in the position of social movement doctor and start actually applying the hard medicine.
you're just trolling
nope, I'm the force for truth and evolution.

I've though a lot about those concepts. You know technology making making human labor useless and giving everyone a means of productions in their own households. Still I wouldn't expect to see that sort of radical shift any time soon...
It's not that radical, haven't you ever seen Buck Rogers, or Star Trek?
