Since this hasn't been done yet, I think I'll start it. Please feel free to help me add to this, as this is a very rough start! Many parts taken from the Communist party manifesto. Please remember that this party is in a general -5/-5 Political compas area, and is (of course) a Green party.

You can be a Green party without implementing out-and-out socialism. I should know, I'm a member of the Green Party (IRL) in real life.
