I just can't help myself, even though I'm not a member of the Greens, and would prefer anti-capitalists to come join the Socialists instead, here's the link that I searched for ya haha

I wanted to love the socialists party but every event I just got hit by SocAlt members regurgitating their talking points and I realised the party is not full of my kind of Socialists.
I have nothing against the party or SocAlt but I just don't fit the niche they are trying to steer the party in. I would still be very happy to see them get someone elected and push Australian politics in the general right direction though.
It is an exciting time for The Greens under Shoebridge and I am very interested to see how the direction of the party goes from here. He is already backing some much more exciting policy than I have seen from The Greens for a while.
@CagedDingo @MisterFrog I agree with your points there (and not just the critical ones). Well put. I was a witness to the founding of Vic Socialists, it was dirty, I (and a lot of others) left the Socialist Alliance over their part in it. And besides, I've always been cold on the evangelical fervour typical of SAlt. But you know, I wouldn't have dreamed of joining the Greens party 10 or 15 years ago, and yet here I am. Parties change under the pressure of events (as do we) and the future is unwritten. I hope The Socialists do well and make a difference.
@bencourtice @CagedDingo @MisterFrog and the future is unwritten . . . well said
