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".    https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/sep/05/green-party-conference-natalie-bennett
