Glick was an advocate of the “safe-state” strategy that did great harm to the Green Party in 2004. He supported David Cobb and worked with Medea Benjamin to retrograde the Greens. Glick is someone who cannot be trusted and really claims to want “progressive” changes but in the end really wants to maintain the status quo

Glick says that political action needs direction and he is correct only if it has to have an anti-imperialist consciousness of a common corporate
enemy sometimes referred to the ruling class, no matter who sits in the White House. Ted doesn’t mention the absolute minimum and urgent need for an independent, national political movement/Party that is capable of an effective Resistance.
Ted believes that the Atlanta Social Forum holds the promise of a force that can lead to social change. Because many people are coming to “dialogue and build community.” Will the Atlanta Forum have different results than its predecessors in Puerto Allegre? Thye underlying failure of previous forums was the fact that there was a search for a new hybrid model–neither capitalist or socialist and of course that is a profound illusion. Glick says that the 2006 elections and the Republican loss of Congress was “impactful.” Once again feeding the dangerous illusion that the Democrats can be part of the solution as they are at the center of the problem.
