      green is red would mean something like environmentalism is praxis.

        Makes sense. Those would be messages for different audiences then.

        “Red is green” = if you care about the environment, communism is the way

        “Green is red” = if you’re a communist, environmentalism is praxis.

        “Red is green” seems like the more important message though, since it’s aimed at pulling environmentally minded people to the left.
