MIM has two main complaints about Greens. One is that without purges and democratic centralism, Green parties allow themselves to be coopted by the imperialists, who for example offered the Greens $100,000 to pull Ralph Nader out of running in 2000, and would no doubt offer millions for the same effect in 2004. Also without purges and democratic centralism, Greens in Germany ended up supporting the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, thereby surrendering original anti-militarist principles. Our second main complaint is the Green line favoring "decentralization," which is completely unrealistic in the world today. There will be concentrated power: the only question is whether there will be a dictatorship of the proletariat or the imperialist dictatorship.
