The Green Party of the United States is the American branch of an organized international political movement. They are often depicted as being a fringe of the Democratic Party, but often try to present themselves as being centrist and also appealing to Republicans. They are often identified as progressive, and even socialist or Marxist, though they emphasize "decentralization", which is contrary to Marxist proposals.
While the core of the Greens and Libertarians have strongly opposing views about justice, there is some overlap in left libertarian elements of both parties. Some libertarians have addressed the greens as being "the honest opposition" and suggested various forms of cooperation, ranging from debates to cooperation on single-issue campaigns, and even co-endorsement of candidates where appropriate.
