Green ideology emphasizes participatory democracy and the principle of "thinking globally, acting locally." As such, the ideal Green Party is thought to grow from the bottom up, from neighborhood to municipal to (eco-)regional to national levels as inspired by [[File:Bckchn.png]] [[Libertarian Municipalism]]. The goal is to rule by a consensus decision making process as practiced in [[File:Demcon.png]] [[Democratic Confederalism]].

Revision as of 19:17, 8 June 2023


Eco-Socialism (shortened to EcoSoc) is an environmentalist, economically left-wing and otherwise varied ideology. He believes that the reduction of CO2 emissions and socialist-style economics are complementary, as pollution is the result of mainly Capitalist commodity production.

It is very close to Socialism economically, but more varied in other ways. It believes that Capitalism will destroy the planet and that we need to have a revolution. Unlike Eco-Fascism, it believes all people should be treated equally. But it also believes in extreme environmentalism.

Foundations and Beliefs

Economics

Eco-Socialism believes in the abolition of Capitalism, in the belief that it puts profits over the environment and the establishment of a socialist economy that is environmentally sensitive and sustainable. It can range anywhere from being centrally planned to being organized around worker co-ops.

Civics

Eco-Socialism is, most of the time, found around the left centre of the political compass; around the center of the civic axis on the left. But this may not always be the case.

Some Eco-Socialists may have more authoritarian views, while others may be more libertarian in their politics. Largely depends on who you ask.

Culture

Exactly the same as the civics of Eco-Socialism, their cultural values could vary. While most people on the left, including Eco-Socialists, are generally progressive, you could, from time to time, run into people who are more conservative or traditional.

Variants

American Greenism

American Greenism is an ideology based on the values of the Green Party of the United States. Its ideals are based on the rejection of Capitalism and State Socialism, and embracement of Libertarian Municipalism, Ecological Socialism, and Economic Mutualism, with state companies dominating various sectors in a democratic way and with small private sector companies. Many Greens consider themselves Libertarian Socialists, including the 2020 presidential candidate, Howie Hawkins.

Values

On top of the Four Pillars of green politics which include ecological wisdom, social justice, grassroots democracy and nonviolence, the Green Party also has a set of Ten Key Values that expand on the concept which include the following extra: decentralization, community-based economics, feminism and gender equality, respect for diversity, personal and global responsibility and future focus on sustainability.

Domestic Policy

They were the first to push for a "Green New Deal" (originally created by European Greens), which would be for a transition to 100% green energy along with a carbon tax, in addition to others, including increased jobs, and an Economic Bill of Rights. Services that would be for free include single-payer healthcare, universal basic income, all public (including higher) education, child care, and urban mass transit. Goods and services that would be available at low cost would include public housing, power, broadband, and water.

Other positions would include strong opposition to privatization, canceling student debt, the right to contraceptives and abortions, access to medical treatment for transgender people and protecting other LGBTQ+ rights, protecting animal rights, promoting secularism and the separation of church and state, reparations to African Americans, legalization of marijuana and ending the "War on Drugs", repeal of three strike laws, end of death penalty, and banning private prisons.

Economy

The eco-socialist economy the Green Party of the United States wants to create is similar to the market socialist mutualist economics of |Proudhon which consists of a large sector of democratically controlled public enterprises, a large sector of cooperative enterprises, and a smaller sector of small businesses and self-employed. Consumer goods and services would be sold to consumers in the market by cooperatives, public enterprises, and small businesses. The party will also create cooperative banks offering low interest somewhat similar to Proudhon's Mutualist banks.

Foreign Policy

The Green Party adapts Pacifism and Alter-Globalism. The Green Party supports a ban on arms sales to foreign countries, banning nuclear testing, cutting the military budget in half, cutting foreign aid to countries with poor LGBTQ+ rights records, support for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, signing the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty, the Iran nuclear deal, and the Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Power Distribution

Green ideology emphasizes participatory democracy and the principle of "thinking globally, acting locally." As such, the ideal Green Party is thought to grow from the bottom up, from neighborhood to municipal to (eco-)regional to national levels as inspired by Libertarian Municipalism. The goal is to rule by a consensus decision making process as practiced in Democratic Confederalism.

Corbynism

Corbynism is based on the political positions of British MP Jeremy Corbyn, who was also a former leader of the opposition, former leader of the Labour Party and former chairman of the Stop the War Coalition, also responsible for a left-wing political fandom called "Corbynmania". He has already stated in an interview that he read Marx a lot, but not that much and some consider him "far left". Its ideals are based on protecting the environment in a "spiritual" way, with strong regulation of the environment and an economy against private investment, the salary of 10 pounds an hour, nationalization and re-nationalization of private companies, increased public spending to £500bn, rising inflation, subsidizing regional development, recovering losses from tax evasion and reducing tax benefits by around £93bn.

Other positions could be Republicanism (personally, does not want to actually remove the monarchy), legalization of abortion, opposition to the Anglo-Irish Agreement, being in favor of a united Ireland, opposition to Separatism in Scotland (but in favor of self-determination), pro-same-sex marriage, making protesting outside the abortion clinic a criminal offense, end of tuition fees in education, a lite Euroscepticism, as he has praised the EU a few times. One of the best known positions is his pacifism, in which he is in favor of nuclear disarmament and the end of NATO, because according to him the end of the Warsaw Pact negates the need for NATO to exist, he also opposes the invasion of Iraq and blames NATO for the Russian invasion of Ukraine . He supports Palestine and has even talked to members of Hamas and Hezbollah, he is also against Kosovo, sympathetic to the Tamil Tigers, against sanctions on Iran, joint administration in the Falkland Islands, in favor of the autonomy of the Chagos Islands and the Kurdish people in Iraq and Iran, support for diplomatic relations with North Korea, support for Fidel Castro in Cuba, Hugo Chavez in Venezuela and Cristina Kirchner in Argentina. He has also been accused of anti-Semitism.
