What Is Green Social Thought?
The Philosophy of Green Social Thought
We live in a capitalist economic system that is based on continued growth which threatens the survival of humans and most animals and plants. This economic system is protected by a military-cultural-political system that maintains global domination.
Our challenge is to advocate and create an alternative that empowers people across the planet, while establishing a new economy and global social order based on equity, social justice and peace. We believe that only a truly democratic economic order can enhance the quality of life. Achieving that requires eliminating unnecessary production, drastically reducing the US military, ensuring satisfaction of needs for all people, and placing the survivability of the ecosphere at the center of our social, political, and cultural life.
