As Dan says...Good representation of the issues RE. <br />As Dan says, the watermelons, I think they have a big impact on the marginal thoughts about economics among the Greens. That is, I find that most Greens I know are usually your average centrists. But they apply Marxists analysis as a sort of fence around the middle; poverty is always a fault/side-effects of markets and capitalism, noticeable wealth, however earned is suspicious, and any tax proposal seem to be analysed on its merits in taking from the "rich". The latter is not always easily understood when it comes to LVT.<br />Also, a lot of Greens seem to have a secret dream, "if only I owned a lot of land, I would do good things with it/leave the trees alone/not hunt", the idea of a land tax sort of gets in the way of this.Kjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530243002915410700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553359733942621830.post-62954497428085914952013-06-25T02:06:30.328+01:002013-06-25T02:06:30.328+01:00There are several varieties of greens who will be ...There are several varieties of greens who will be resistant to land value tax, and several varieties who will embrace it. Among the resistant are (with considerable overlap):<br /><br />The conventional non-conformists. They belong to a cultural subgroup with its own non-conformist dogma, and think there is only one way to not conform. They can find reasons why anything else is selling out.<br /><br />The greener than thou: Green tax shifts are not green enough. They think people should not be motivated by profit, but should put the environment first, and the wolf should lie down with the lamb, and so on.<br /><br />The watermelons: When the green movement was first beginning, socialists said things like, "you can't change the world by eating granola." But as their influence grew and the world *did* begin to change, and as socialist influence began to wane, many socialists joined the green movement. Unfortunately, Marxist analysis confounds land with capital, and has never accepted the notion that individual enterprise can be beneficial if the tax structure punishes rent-seeking and rewards production. Some socialists, like Michael Hudson, are changing that.<br /><br />The parade leaders. In every movement, whether right or left, has people who figure out where the movement is headed, run to the head of the movement, and act like they are leading the parade. They are uncomfortable with uncertainty as to whether the parade might turn without them, and vice versal<br /><br />However, there are also the analysts, who study until get to the bottom of things, and the self-actualizers, who just plain love challenges. These are the people who actually lead movements, although it takes the others a long time to catch on.Dan Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17389513232655343860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553359733942621830.post-73964756977038470382013-06-25T02:01:34.978+01:002013-06-25T02:01:34.978+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Dan Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17389513232655343860noreply@blogger.com
