splitting the green left

Hi im Hux from Australia.
I have been coming here for about 2 years now just reading many of the posts on this forum, and i would just like to say that i am so happy that there is still somewhere i can go where people actually care about individual liberties. Thanks to all of you.

I have been pondering about the carbon tax being forced upon us Australians and whether the green movement has always been a creation of the socialist movement or at some stage just hijacked by the left.
Now realising that these greenies are taking us towards international socialism, i am always thinking about what i can do to counter this from happening.

So my idea is that perhaps we need to show people what color the greens really are, by creating a new party that tries to encourage conservation voluntarily and show that we are not concerned about things such as giving people ‘free’ education or free medical or whatever other thing socialist offer but only with helping people live in sustainable communities if they choose to.
I think the key point is to appear more green than the current green left movement while having libertarian values of individual liberties.
We would not support nor oppose things such as gay marriages because we don’t believe marriage should even have anything to do with government in the first place.

Anyways all this for the purpose of creating a new green movement that is opposed any form of socialism and creating a wedge between the green and the left.

What do you guys and gals think???

P.S I used to be a green socialist until around 3 years ago. Ron Paul and Human Action saved my life =D. I also used to really enjoy volunteering for conservation projects and wish to continue doing so in the near future. Sponsors anyone?? =D just kidding

The Green Movement is in two parts: 1. Heavy Duty Socialists who are practicing a religion whose heaven is a place without scarcity and whose hell is a place with private property rights. These folks use this green crap as a means to bring about their heaven through coercion and ultimately murder. The other group consists of the real Greens. They differ in their versions of heaven and hell. And the people in this religion like the Heavy Duty Socialists believe that their cause is so just, correct and their hell so imminent that they can use government force (Coercion through murder) to bring about their heaven.

So instead of convincing you are attempting a conversion and I doubt it will happen. Look at Ron Paul in the USA, he is trying to team up with a few of these folks to bring about a modicum of liberty when these same people have spent their careers building the massive apparatus of US Federal Welfare/Warfare Machine.
