Das wär doch ne Adresse, um sich mal wieder zu treffen:

Was ist das "rot-grüne Projekt"? Wie mit vielem, von dem andauernd die Rede ist, so ist auch hier unklar, was gemeint sein könnte. Der "ökologische Umbau der Industriegesellschaft", die Förderung alternativen Wirtschaftens, die sozial etwas weniger brutale politische Ausgestaltung der Globalisierung, das sind einige der Antworten, die im Umlauf sind. Dass dieses Projekt von Karrieristen verraten wurde, ist eine gängige Sichtweise.
