Obama's Green Czar Van Jones criticized civil rights leaders for not advocating "redistribution of all the wealth"

Obama's Green Czar Van Jones criticized civil rights leaders for not advocating, "redistribution of all the wealth" after the Rosa Parks indecent. Van Jones also said, "We want to go beyond the systems of exploitation and oppression all together."



From the video:
"Right after Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat if the civil rights leaders had jumped out and said OK now we want reparations for Slavery, we want redistribution of all the wealth, and we want to legalize mixed marriages. If we'd come out with a maximum program the very next day, they'd been laughed at. Instead they came out with a very minimum. "We just want to integrate these busses..." But, inside that minimum demand was a very radical kernel that eventually meant that from 1964 to 1968 complete revolution was on the table for this country.

And, I think that this green movement has to pursue those same steps and stages. Right now we say we want to move from suicidal gray capitalism to something eco-capitalism where at least we're not fast-tracking the destruction of the whole planet. Will that be enough? No, it won't be enough. We want to go beyond the systems of exploitation and oppression all together. But, that's a process and I think that's what's great about the movement that is beginning to emerge is that the CRISIS is so severe in terms of joblessness, violence and now ecological threats that people are willing to be both pragmatic and visionary. So the green economy will start off as a small subset and we are going to push it and push it and push it until it becomes the engine for transforming the whole society.

Liberals insist Van Jones is not a communist. Here is an Air America "Fun Fact" proclaiming Van Jones is a good capitalist.

I heard it is in short supply.
