There are roughly thirty political parties in Greece. I don’t think any one single party gets more than twenty percent of the national vote.

The country thrives upon diversity, political argument, and parties promising and delivering tons of special favors, bridges, and funded stuff. Toss in the fact that so many islands make up the country, and everyone wants something special...it just makes a bigger mess.

So along comes this economic disaster that no one has ever experienced in their life. Folks are discontent...some living in a marginal form of life....and politics have simply gone to a turbo-version.

The killing of the rapper? Well, all the authorities can say is that one socialist rapper is dead after a confrontation with some Nazi Greek guy. No one has yet to say whose knife was involved. Maybe I’m wrong here, but witness accounts haven’t helped the cops at all. So there’s got to be a clean-up of this mess, and someone to blame. The Greek Nazis get the full blame.

Presently in Greece, some folks think that the Greek Nazis have between five and ten percent of the vote around the country. If they ever get enough of a build-up on complaints....they could take maybe twenty-five percent of the vote, and literally run the country because of that small but overwhelming number. Remember, Hitler’s Nazi Party barely took around sixteen percent of the German vote in the first episode, and was a partnership deal to get them into the control position of the Bundestag.

Golden Dawn’s support is actually closer to 15%

This was a political purge, plain and simple. Internals were probably looking worse and worse, and Golden Dawn were threatening to withdraw from parliament. It’s weird, but if that happens, another election is immediately called, in which they would undoubtedly gain even more seats than last time.

The stabbing is an excuse. You don’t arrest an entire party for something that a supporter does (or we’d have arrested all the rats a long time ago).
This was planned, and executed as quickly as possible by the powers that be in Greece, and the EU.

Somehow though, I think it will only hasten Greece’s descent into anarchy. Adolf Hitler was a lot more popular after prison than before.
