Thanks for the link to the article, Grey. It was interesting.

When people feel the economic pinch as they currently are in Greece, there is often an escalation in fascism, isn't there?


I don't completely dismiss the idea or threat of another holocaust.


Yes and the links between Golden Dawn and the Greek police are strong. On anarchist sites there is evidence of the two working hand in hand.

However the Anarchist left is a lot stronger in Greece. They experienced Communism after WW2 with disasterous consequences. As Louis de Bernières, said in  Captain Corelli's Mandolin, 'All they had to do was nothing, to be the first popular and elected Communist government in Europe. Instead of which they took all the children away to re-education camps in Bulgaria.'

So the main danger to Greece is from outside. In many ways it is begining to mirror Spain in 1936.
