Default Green Marxism

Traditionally, the Marxist movement was considered to be red. But I think it hit the green banner of Marxism in contemporary may be more people to respond. Do you think?

Red has been our color since the first strikes in the 16th century. I vote red.

Red looks better. Also, cricket balls are red, and cricket is awesome. So yeah.

It is an old joke, but there are two types of lefties: tomatoes who are the Reds; and watermelons, who are Green on the out side, Red inside and spring from Black seeds.

I prefer the colour green lol but no
I think green symbolises peace and the enironment.
Red symbolises resistance and people (blood) and suffering which is more relevant imo.

The "green movement" is completely toasted. They're liberals whose interest are nature and animals. They scream for privatising airliner companies, though "traveling by air isn't too good" according to them.

We, the Reds, are the final and ultimate force for change in all aspects of planetary life. Red is the blood of life as well as the countless lives lost in the true fight for justice, equality and freedom that began since time immemorial.

However, Benin had some good ideas some time ago;

Tomatoes have little green hats, though.

Well, as an environmentalist, I can't say that I've ever thought about privatizing any sort of airliner, nor any type of industry. There should be more eco-proletarians out there. My latest book that I published showed exactly how I felt when it came to Marxist environmentalism. Sure, the idea of going 'Green' literally doesn't sound so promising, but in a metaphorical sense, going 'Green' should be a must. Though, if we want to change the climate, then we must first change the system.
