Quinn <[1]skquinn@rushpost.com Some of the first Green Parties were found in the 1970's, when Communism was dying and a bunch of European nuts were embarrassed about being seen as Communists. So, they figured they would form a crypto-Communist/Socialist party, pretend it focussed primarily on environmental issues. The "Green Party" has been jokingly referred to as the "Watermelon Party": "Green on the outside, and Red on the inside".
