The Greek Far Right - Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid

JupiterKid

The economic and social crisis that is devastating Greece has taken its toll in many ways - one being the huge social unrest and civil disorder the country has seen over the past year. But another, perhaps much more worrying development is happening - the rise of a neo-Nazi far right fascist political party called Golden Dawn.:(

Their symbol looks very like the Nazi swastika and they have a virulently anti-immigrant stance. Remember, the Nazi party started out small too in a Germany economically crippled after World War 1.

My God that's a long article. Thankfully you summarised it in 4 sentences, or else I may have had to read it.

Who finished slightly behind Golden Dawn

DEFTLEFTHAND

Did they make much of an impact at the last General election? The media could be exaggerating their growth and popularity.

Was it the immigrants that made the Greeks not pay their taxes?

and the greek far right is equaly balanced out by the far left..they have plenty of anarchists/communists that will kick the sh1te out of the fascists.

Its always been a banana republic.Do you rememebr the english aeroplane enthusaists that were arrested for spying...because they took photo's of combat planes,set up as exibhits at an air show?couldnt make it up :pac:

The legal repercussions of the hobby were dramatically shown in November 2001 when fourteen aircraft spotters (twelve British, two Dutch) were arrested by Greek police after being observed at an open day at the Greek Air Force base at Kalamata. They were charged with espionage, and faced a possible 20-year prison sentence if found guilty. After being held for six weeks, they were eventually released on £9,000 bail, and the charges reduced to the misdemeanour charge of illegal information collection. Confident of their innocence they returned for their trial in April 2002 and were stunned to be found guilty, with eight of the group sentenced to three years, the rest for one year. At their appeal a year later all were acquitted

Not to be, like, a total square n shizzle but it's a well-written article. Worth reading.

Nope.:D

I'm not into tinfoil hat fashion... :pac:

...but I do think the rise of these neo-Nazis in Greece - and also in countries like Russia, the Ukraine and the Baltic states is something to keep an eye on.

I for one welcome our new Greek Nazi overlords.

ringadingding

Alot of what Is normally considered unacceptable can become acceptable in times of shortage, be it food or money etc.

Hitler went from a homeless artist to the most powerful man in Europe by feeding on the fear and hatred of the Jews in vienna ....

There has been a rise in support for 'alternative ' right wing groups all over Europe with the leaders of the groups pouncing on the fear, anger and desire to blame somebody for changes for the worse.

Immigrants are easy prey in these cases

I could be wrong but didn't the Nazi party start out much less ostentatious? These guys are so obviously bad that I can't see them gaining any traction.

How many people knowingly join the dark side? This is why Star Wars never made much sense.

ArtSmart

Now, Germans getting upset, yes, time to be worried.

Greece getting upset?

those guys with the tutus, tights and pompoms as a soldier uniform?

hmmmm.

The frightening thing is the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn thugs seem to have a lot of support from the police forces in Greece.

As well as being anti-immigrant they are homophobic, racist anti-intellectual and want to curtail womens' rights.

I would not want to be an immigrant in Greece these days.

The big problem is that they are gaining traction. From reports on the BBC the other day the police are actually supporting Golden Dawn.

No,

I would be more concerned about what's happening on the other side of the Atlantic.
