Cybergreen: Bruce Sterling
Green = Red.
Bruce Sterling is, for all intents and purposes, a commie.
"Veridian", my ass.
Veridian green is entryist, not commie. The watermelons would perceive it as right entryist, or libertarian entryist. The standard green viewpoint is that if socialism retarded the advance of technology and lowered everyone's standard of living, that is actually a good thing. The Veridian green viewpoint is pro capitalist, and pro progress. As living standards rise, we are going to spend more on intangibles and natural beauty, and the interesting question is how to do this in a capitalist, hi-tech, framework. --digsig James A.
