What ever happened to the Green Party? Remember, the Green Party; the People's Party; the Party with an egalitarian structure that practiced grass-roots politics and social democracy when deliberating over its own policies and affairs?

The Green Party of old no longer exists in any substantive form; only in a projection of text displayed as a representation of the Green Party's internal organizational practices. The Party has installed a hierarchical structure and has developed a culture of suspicion and ideological dogma that is tantamount to a cultural condition that exists under a totalitarian state such as fascism.

The Green Party still attempts to project an image of itself which reinforces the prejudices developed from impressions of the organization as it first emerged as the premier third party movement in American politics. However, the rhetoric consists of propositions that describe states-of-affairs that are absent of any reference to the external facts comprising the Party's practices.

We can can state with absolute conviction that The Green Party is dominated by a clique of cronies who have successfully consolidated power within the party structure, and quite actively
preserve their power through the silencing of dissent and the praxis of exclusionary olitics. They go so far as to banish members under contrived charges of impropriety in order to maintain the cohesion of an organization
that is void of deliberative participatory democracy. There is no democracy left in the Green Party. There is perhaps a form of republicanism, but one can enjoy this mitigated, marginal form of political participation in the
Democratic Party. So, we ask: What is the need for the Green Party, other than to act as the spoiler party to the Democrats? The Green Party promises no democratic reform; no political decentralization that would empower the individuals emotionally attached to one another in local communities; therefore, The Green Party is an entity that is a hindrance to oppositional politics in America, and certainly not a guiding light in the struggle to democratize a society that has slipped into a state of Empire.

'Green' is no longer a signifier of populist reform; it is a symptom of pathology. The Green Party has been infected by the corrupting elements of petty minded people who aspire to the advancement of their own provincial interests at the expense of a movement that once
promised to be the People's emerging voice in American politics.

At this point in time, attempting to salvage the Green Party is a waste of activist resources.
The Party is starting to implode, due to the tyrannical imposition of the will of a faction that believes it needs to take control of the organization in order to impose structure and coordination to the activities of the minions
under its control. California Greens are nearly in revolt. They are by far the largest pocket of Greens in the nation, and their disassociation from the Party would render the Green US a mere vestige of what it once was.
The national organization would be politically impotent.

Let the Green Party die of this infection, and let something new originate from the organic processes associated with grass-roots activism. It is time for a new voice to be heard from the wilderness, and the most viable organization to assume this role is the Populist Party of America; a party that has yet to succumb to the
dynamics of institutionalization, which leads to stasis, rendering the entity inert. The Populist Party of America is poised to take hold of the reigns of the American third-party, oppositional culture, and the time is coming
near to a transition that will be abrupt and definitive.

Those who still value direct, deliberative democracy; grass-roots politics; decentralization of governmental power; and social and economic reform; need to find a
new home within Populist America, because it is now the lone voice crying out from the wilderness - the new dynamic of oppositional politics in American culture.
