4.) Green & Gold Reciprocity Agreement: A Proposal for the Green and Libertarian Parties to Form an Alliance
By Domp Filanowski
The #ManagerialClass has its left-right alliance with the corporate-owned #UniParty, the #MAGAantiMAGAparty, which is known to many as the Democrats and Republicans. *** The time is long overdue that the #WorkingClass catches up in forming its own #LeftRightAlliance.

Green & Gold Reciprocity Agreement:
A Proposal for the Green and Libertarian Parties to Form an Alliance
***
#GnG_Reciprocity, #LovePeaceN_Solidarity
***
***
***
A proposal for the Green and Libertarian Parties to form an alliance whereby the presidential running mate of each reciprocal party has the endorsement of the other (more #Details below).
***
***
***
In this way, both parties benefit from the other's gain, which promotes synergy and solidarity. A similar technique using different methods has already been implemented and mastered by the #EstablishMent #UniParty, and it makes for an effective tactic of [political] leverage.
***
In essence, the concept is really quite simple: create unity between the left and right identities of a particular economic class, to the economic benefit of said class.
***
In practice, this is no simple task, and it requires years, even decades of strategic planning to accomplish. Shedding light on the #Monumentous task ahead is not meant to discourage but to encourage.
***
Rome did not fall in a single day. Neither did Babylon. And neither shall the global neoliberal order.
***
#NewSpiritualOrder!
***
***
***
Progress does not have a leftwing identity although some presume this to be the case.
***
***
***
Progress does not have a left-right identity:
***
CNN, MSNBC and the vast majority of MSM networks have a leftwing identity, while Chris Hedges, a libertarian, does not.
***
Chris Hedges is a progressive, while the MSM propaganda machine, a #UniParty #SnareOfDeception, is not.
***
***
***
#Details - the particulars of the reciprocity agreement do not need to be set in stone at this point in time, but the basic strategy is as follows:
***
Every four years, the Green Party and the Libertarian Party would negotiate ahead of time - who the running mates will be for each party's presidential nominee. The Green Party nominee would have a Libertarian running mate, and the Libertarian Party nominee would have a Green Party running mate.
***
***
***
Article II of the United States Constitution and the 12th Amendment do not lay out any restrictions regarding party affiliation. But the Electoral College could be an #Obstacle to this strategy if it's a tight race and the presidential and vice-presidential candidates happen to #Reside in the same state.
***
Each of the respective parties' charters may require alterations to even allow the presidential nominee to select a running mate from outside of the party, but it does not appear as if there would be any legal restrictions, assuming the legally binding charters were in alignment with the Green & Gold Reciprocity Agreement.
***
Another possible way to have a running mate with the endorsement of the reciprocal party would be to select a runner-up from the other party's primary race. However, this option might not allow the running mates to change their party affiliation if it is strategically or legally necessary to do so. On the other hand, if party affiliation does matter with regard to the Electoral College, having pre-selected candidates would provide the opportunity for the vice-presidential candidates to temporarily change their party affiliation accordingly.
***
***
***
So, who would these pre-selected, endorsed candidates be? One viable option would be well-known nominees from previous elections, people who already have name recognition (e.g., Gary Johnson for a Green Party nominee's running mate - or Ralph Nader for a Libertarian nominee's running mate).
***
Under this proposal, the Green Party nominee and the Libertarian Party nominee can each maintain their own respective campaigns while being checked by the considerations of the other side, thus strengthening their own message to prospective voters in the process. Additionally, having reciprocal running mates with name recognition would be an immense tactical advantage.
***
***
***
Someone once told me that the song "Teach Your Children" by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young was more radical than most people realize. According to this individual, the song is actually about the way in which the state divides the working class amongst generational lines.
***
#DontBlameBoomers, #BlameTheState. #TeachYourChildren!
***
Given this context, the line(s) "Feed them on your dreams. . .The one they pick's the one you'll know by" can be interpreted as intergenerational #CommonGround.
***
We all need to "feed each other on our dreams", not just intergenerationally, but across the partisan divide as well.
***
Green Party members must feed Libertarian Party members on their Green Party dreams.
***
Libertarian Party members must feed Green Party members on their Libertarian Party dreams.
***
And the dreams that are #Picked by the #ReciprocalParties shall be the path forward, the demands of labor to which the #EstablishMent will capitulate, once we reach the critical point of #MassAgitation.
***
***
***
Finally, it doesn't really matter if a Green or Libertarian candidate never even wins a presidential election.
***
***
***
If the Green and Gold Reciprocity Agreement results in minimal electoral gains for either or both parties, and the #UniParty perceives these gains as a potential threat to its own existence. . .
***
. . .then the #UniParty will capitulate to the demands of the working class.
***
It's as simple as that. It's all about #Leverage.
***
None of us has the #Power to do this on our own, but if we #UniteInSpite of the #PartisanDivide. . .
***
. . .we will be rewarded with the #Leverage needed to #Cast the neoliberal order aside,
***
. . .the #Leverage needed to #Emancipate us from the tyrannical exploitation of the oppressive #UniParty.
***
***
***
In conclusion, the Green & Gold Reciprocity Agreement is a #LongTerm movement intended to effect progressive change, so the following point ought to be reiterated:
***
***
***
We must not get bogged down or discouraged by the relatively inconsequential outcome of any single contemporaneous presidential election, particularly when the president-elect is likely to be a ravenous wolf in sheep's clothing [with a common #UniParty objective] no matter who wins.
***
The perpetually narrow focus on contemporaneous presidential election outcomes is a deceptive tactic of the #EstablishMent designed to corral the #GenPop into the slaughterhouse of ignorance. The outcome of individual battles means nothing compared to the effectiveness of a #Movement, the effectiveness of an #Ideology. This is why the war on terror has been grossly ineffective, and it's why the war on progress will be ineffective as well.
***
The #ManagerialClass has its left-right alliance with the corporate-owned #UniParty, the #MAGAantiMAGAparty, which is known to many as the Democrats and Republicans.
***
The time is long overdue that the #WorkingClass catches up in forming its own #LeftRightAlliance.
***
***
***
#AnAlternativeApproach of #WellAgitated #NonviolentResistance WILL in fact lead to a #NewSpiritualOrder. But we need to stop pretending that we're dead (#L7 .l7theband.com/ #PretendWeReDead) in order for this to happen.
***
***
***
In solidarity. . .

*I never had the opportunity to meet Dale Frazier, the founder of GOAL who passed away in 2015, but I was very close to the former president of GOAL, Edmund Armstrong. Before his untimely death, Ed was working on developing "#microcontroller based, water-level detectors that would, in real time, bounce water levels off of cell towers with the information being available via the Internet."
#microcontroller:

Ed passed away in 2023, and the organization was dissolved shortly thereafter. The eulogy I gave at Ed's funeral tastefully joked about his lack of faith and made reference to my coordination efforts between Pokrova Council and GOAL (link below). Several of his family members praised the eulogy and thanked me for giving it afterwards. Also in attendance at the funeral was the son of the Commanding Officer who sent Ed to the brigantine before his dishonorable discharge for insubordination, a punitive separation of which he was proud (I admire Ed for his courage and perseverance). Ed was kind and respectful enough to wait until after the Commanding Officer's son had walked away (I met his son at a GOAL cleanup before Ed's passing) to tell me the story about his so-called "duck dinner."
