The Judean People’s Front still alive and kicking.
Extinction? If this is our approach to a serious problem, quite probably!
There is a far left group in my area who are too pure to join any existing party who call themselves 'United Left', which has always seemed an oxymoron to me.
Thanks Celia
United in not joining with anybody? Makes perfect sense
I realize that nobody will get this Monty Python reference to the Judean People's Front unless they have seen Monty Python's movie Life Of Brian, but thank you for including it anyway. Yes, the spirit of that absurd parody of a totally self-absorbed, insular and ineffectual political splinter group is alive and well(?) in modern political movements. I agree with your perspective. Sometimes even the Green Party in the US reminds me way too much of the Judean People's Front, even if they are the only political party in the US that represents my values and is actually known by much of the country at all.
I'VE VOTED GREEN SINCE 1980, and it seems some greens are a bit timid right now, but I like AOC. Even though she is a woman, has brown skin and is a latina, she rocks the green agenda, IMO.
@Healthydoc70 I have too, in most of the prez elections. I voted Anderson in the year he ran as an independent, but after that it was Green every time except Obama's first time. I will not keep voting lesser evil every time like most of my liberal, but not socialist, friends who keep voting Dem every time for prez. To me, they are like addicts who need a 12 Step program for it........
