Well, that would be a revolting development.
I don’t see it happening, though. Very few governments have discredited themselves to the extent Greece has. And, since most neo-Nazis are white, the remaining governments of Europe can come down on them like a ton of bricks...

How is it that you claim to be the author yet link to some other worthless blog?

You’re like a plagiarist who doesn’t quite have the skills needed to plagiarize.

The drum of Fascism is sounding all over Europe. They will bring order and jobs. Lots of neat statues and buildings! A new Europe for Europeans—Not going to be a good thing for Arabs, Jews and others. watch out when they start to reach into Africa and Asia—and maybe South America. The good thing—These folks don’t last long and will be booted out in time—They are like a disease. People will wise up in time—like our Progressives.

it 40% for youth and around 26% in general.

this does not account for the cash ecconomy that is always there. much of this is fluff stories.

Much of this is a result of the TWO illegal alien amnesties. TWO.

Something to think about with the gang of 8 amnesty program.

I wonder how much of these stories are really just false flag stories to attack anti-amensty commentary.

It’s difficult to find a legitimate platform for Golden Dawn that isn’t just ascribed to them by others. However, a few things do stand out, that are not on the surface exclusively fascist ideas.

1) Expulsion of foreigners, illegal and legal. Taking Greece out of the EU free borders agreement, closing the Greek borders to illegal immigrants, and requiring all foreign tourists to have visas to visit Greece.

2) Kicking out all foreign based NGOs that have offices in Greece. Limiting the Greek medical system to just Greeks. The restoration of law and order (many police unofficially support GD). Government support of the Greek Orthodox church against secular and Muslim attacks.

3) Likely leaving the Euro and returning to the Drachma, with a possible renunciation of foreign debts. They are “anti-austerity”, using the populist approach that Greek wealth should support Greeks, not EU bankers.

I finally found a statement by a Golden Dawn spokesman:

“Greece belongs to the Greeks. One does not become a Greek, but is born one. If a black man comes from Africa and stays in Greece for 15 years, he is still not a Greek. We are anti-capitalists, anti-communists and believe in a national state. We also have extremely normal and strict opinions on matters regarding illegal immigration, drugs and homosexuality.”

Boohoohoo, post after post by metro-sexual cry-babies worried about some European youth trying to clean up their house that their commie governments have totally trashed when the US itself has been taken over by a majority of far worse a$$hats! I’m glad for Greece that they have such activist and sorry for US because our activist organization is the Tea Party which seems to be nothing more than a “Garden party” sipping wine while whining about liberals screwing everything up. What is the Tea Party anyway, the right wing Rinos? Wake-up, the Communist Revolution in America is almost over and they are clearly winning. Will the Tea Party get it when Hussein lines them up against a wall? We don’t need a Hitler and Nazis but I think we need at least a General Franco, Patton, or MacArthur. Has the sissy commie cheer-leader got bigger balls now than our own generals?

This makes sense in Greece, which has long had a strong communist movement, once even overthrown in a coup by the Greek military. Their down on “capitalism” is really more directed at the economic abuse that Greece has taken from the EU, that have used Greece as a pawn to enrich themselves, with the complicity of the other political parties.

“The “return of Fascism” should be looked at as an awakening of nationalism.”

Not when they are flying thinly disguised Nazi flags and marching with jackbooted skinhead stormtroopers. No, this is pretty much naked fascism, and we shouldn’t make the mistake of showing them any sympathy. Even though we have a common enemy in the socialists, we can have no common ground with these types. If they do manage to defeat the socialists, we won’t be celebrating, because they’ll turn on us next.

They’re fascists. Just because we haven’t seen much of their “third way” since WWII, doesn’t mean capitalism & communism are the only options.

“The good thing—These folks don’t last long and will be booted out in time”

Kind of hard to say that when we deposed most of the fascists through war. Franco, the big exception, managed to last quite a long time without his own country deposing him.

Europe is surprisingly small. You could probably fit 1/3 of it into Texas.

I hate modern Nazis.

For the Greeks, it's come down to a choice between Golden Dawn and Islamification. None of the other Greek parties seem to want to take a stand against immigration. Perhaps some Golden Dawn election victories will serve as a wake up call.

But after Franco was a democratic wave of freedom! Evita and Juan Peron were Fascists too—The party they formed morphed into something democratic too. Italy dumped their fascists on their own—If WW II didn’t happen the Germans would have booted Hitler—or his party—after his death in 1946-8. Russia drops Communism—Yeah it took 75 years—but they dropped it for a form of Democracy.

Oh great. I’m sure all the people the fascists liquidate will be comforted to know that they’ll be out of power in a few short decades.
