This is a cogent critique of the GND but we should also consider that where the yellow vests ended in some confusion over ecological versus working class issues, the GND, with its stated intent (cf. such figures as AOC) to embrace/combine ecological and socialist legacy issues provides exactly the mix/upgrade needed. The ‘new deal’ aspect is really a ‘social democratic’ signature and a ‘revolutionary Green’ movement might step in to recompute socialism as a green movement.
Our DMNC should expand to a ecological ‘green democratic market neo-communsim’: GDMNC
Almost all the projects of the GND fit like a glove into the larger formulation…
