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.
