I believe I read somewhere that people with similar fascist backgrounds are forming the new Italian government too. It used to be that you had to stage a military coup or send the Wehrmacht in to get these kinds of people in power. Now we can add 'debt crisis' to that list.

After the hammer, he graduated to law school– and the ax; was expelled from law school; and worked his way up the adult world of Greek fascist politics, his ax tucked under the bed somewhere. In 1994, Voridis helped found a new far-right party, The Hellenic Front. In 2004’s elections, Voridis’s “Hellenic Front Party” formed a bloc with the neo-Nazi “Front Party,” headed by Greece’s most notorious Holocaust denier, Konstantinos Plevis, a former fascist terrorist whose book, “Jews: The Whole Truth,” praised Adolph Hitler and called for the extermination of Jews. Plevis was charged and found guilty of “inciting racial hatred” in 2007, but his sentence was overturned on appeal in 2009.

Sounds pretty unrepentant to me.

Why the fuck did PAME/KKE block the Anarchists/trotskyists from entering the square. A few fire bombs would have gone down so nicely.

From what I understand, they protected Parliament because they have seats in Parliament.

How those class traitors that call themselves communists have any support at all with behaviour like that I'll never know. They allow their petty attempts at reformism to block any chance of real protest, what disgusting behaviour.
