I knew about the Golden Dawn getting more and more power, and that Greece's economy crashed and burned, but I wasn't aware they'd gone full
retard nazi. Why haven't I heard of this thing before? Why's this operation not been major news?
I looked up the Golden Dawn page on Wikipedia to get an image of their flag and found that it says they give help to the poor and victims of crimes. Naturally, the catch is that they have to be ethnic Greek and give the Golden Dawn unconditional allegiance. The police apparently also support the GD since they tell people to go to them for help if they've been the victim of a crime, particularly if the crime was committed by an immigrant.
Here's the flag. They also put up full on Swastika banners at their convention or whatever.
*SNIP*
Germany lost a war that killed several million people. I don't think Greece is about to declare war on the rest of Europe, so we shouldn't expect things to progress in the same way.
From the
Golden Dawn Wikipedia page, Section titled "Stance toward other countries":
"In 2012, the party leader, Nikolaos Mihaloliakos, said during an election meeting in Thessaloniki that "We will take İstanbul, İzmir as well as the Black Sea back." Earlier, Mihaloliakos had said that one day the "Queen City" (Istanbul) will be "liberated". These regions once had significant Greek populations until the Treaty of Lausanne. He criticized Thessaloniki's mayor for wanting to name one of the city's streets after Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.
In January 2013, a group of supporters of Golden Dawn attacked the car of the Turkish Consul General, Osman İlhan Şener, in Komotini during an anti-Turkey protest. The party members also insulted Atatürk during the attack.
Mihaloliakos has also called for the "liberation" of Northern Epirus, which is today part of southern Albania, has a substantial Greek population and is claimed by Greek irredentists. His party also supports the annexation of Cyprus. Election adverts for Golden Dawn depicted the burning of US and Israeli flags."
