-—What if the Green Party did win some offices, and what if Jill Stein won the highest office?
-—Could they hold power and get anything done?
-—-Could we “make” the Green Party establish any progressive changes?
--Are the Syriza and Podemos parties in Europe complete failures, and would the Green Party be undermined and fall to the oligarchs?
-—How can we stop the oligarchy?
-—Does the oligarchy allow a few coop bakeries here and there, but undermine more substantial enterprises?
-—Who has progressive political strategies (in addition to the Green Party); who has progressive strategies outside politics; and, who has the best integral strategy, organisation, and pending actions?
-—Might climate disasters disrupt the masses more than the oligarchy, and thereby serve to continue the status-quo into perpetuity (or at least deep into the 6th great extinction)? Alternatively, is there a chance to build and enjoy a Great Society in whatever short time we (individuals, communities, our species) we have left?
