Cheer-leading the German Greens & East Asian keiretsu capitalism (at 
the same time!) from the USA as you do, Dennis, makes even less 
political sense than working for the Democrats here as Nathan does, 
in that the former has no tangible political effect, unlike the 
latter.

Besides, keiretsu capitalism has & will never be Green.  The German 
Greens' turn to neoliberalism is rooted in their non-Marxist 
environmentalism, which has been easily reconciled with fiscal 
austerity policy.  While the remnants of keiretsu capitalism may 
still stand in contradiction to neoliberal purism, electoral 
environmentalism doesn't.
