I absolutedly agree with Jim on this point! The greens in fact are 
supporting imperialist Genocide on the third world not through gas chambers 
but forced birth control and not giving the aids medicine that does exist to 
these countries. And the Greens are backing this shit to the hilt with their 
middle class petty bourgeois utopian ideology. And the stalinists and neo 
stalinists in the form of Jones and Proyect are the cheer leading section. 
Naturally only the DOP connected to technical advances can garantee that 
these projects are put in use in a real meaningful way..

Warm regards
