Preferred term

Green Party (USA)  

Definition

  • Emerging from the influential peace, anti-nuclear, and ecologist movements of the 1960s and 1970s, Green Parties formed throughout Western Europe, and in Australia and New Zealand, during the late 1970s and early 1980s. The new parties issued a stern critique of mainstream politics and the established political parties, charging that modern capitalism was environmentally and socially unsustainable and that elites on both sides of the political spectrum were complicit in its perpetuation.
