Nobody to vote for - Anarkismo

Are the Greens a progressive alternative? Certainly their rhetoric is a refreshing change from the Libs and the "me-too" ALP. Their fatal flaw is exposed, however, by their commitment to capitalism. This is clearest to see in the most important issue for them, climate change. They understand the threat of global warming and want to tackle it, but their proposals would put the cost of doing so largely on the working class. This would drive workers into the arms of the greenhouse denial industry and destroy any hope of effective action on climate change. The Greens, therefore, have no answers.
