Nothing new here...

Although I'm afraid that in both Greece and Spain, the revolutionary left will get caught flat-footed and unprepared to fight the fascist threat by the means that they are prepared to fight us with.

Where's the article on Anarchists and other left wing tendencies in Spain? Does one even exist? My point here is, if it doesn't then the BBC isn't being impartial as it isn't providing an alternative view.

The vibe I'm getting is that they've covered this because of the legacy of Franco's dictatorship in Spain. Much in the same way Golden Dawn has connections to the military junta in Greece. It's not that they're being partial to the fascists, it just helps them highlight the issues in that country all the more better and try to encourage sympathy for those in the political "center".

I take it similar things are happening in Italy as well?
