I can't believe they let those parties actually exist. Jesus called us to love our enemies and we should do. He also called us to love our neighbor as ourselves. I'm not from Greece and I don't know what kind of power are those quasi-nazi people in but Greece should make that party illegal. Too much for some to handle, I know, but it's obvious what those guys want: use the situation, get in power and then God knows what.

So your solution is to abandon democracy?
eudaimonia,

No, my solution is democracy. Greece can choose whomever they want to, it doesn't effect me at all but voting for those guys is obviously a bad idea. Their main agenda seems to be empowered by their frustration instead of justice.
Didn't you write that the party should be made illegal? That's not the same thing as the voters refusing to cast votes for the party.
By what standards should a party be made illegal? Wouldn't such a power be abused? There could be radical parties that are little like extreme nationalists that the major parties would find it convenient to simply make illegal.

Party should be illegal if they are, as you said, extreme nationalists. Democracy is more than letting people do and promote what they want to. Greece needs an organized government around which people are able to come to the common, or at least to a majority conclusion in politics, economics and trade. Personally I've got nothing against those quasi-nationalists and the reason I called them that is because I haven't heard of any violence encouraged by them.
I am quite sure that that sort of party would be absolutely illegal here. The last thing people, at least in my opinion, need in a situation of economic ruin is someone to come by and create confusion.
Results matter in politics, not promises or frustrations. I've seen the video and nowhere does that guy refer to his plan of improving the government. All he talks about is how they need to get rid of junta.

Eudaimonist said:I'm not asking you to take my word. I have shown you the Golden Dawn's party symbol, which is clearly (be honest) a self-conscious imitation of the Nazi flag.
It's just a coincidence that the flag they chose looks fascist (red, white and black with a symbol that looks conspicuously like a swastika) and that they make use of the nazi salute... I mean the "roman salute" wink wink. The first edition of their magazine Chrysi Avgi just happened to have a swastika on the cover too.The meander is an ancient greek symbol that is fitting for Greek nationalist party. Really, if your only case against the party is based on the party's flag having a superficial resemblance to that of National Socialist Germany, you're really grasping at straws.
]Why? The Communist Party is allowed to exist. At least Golden Dawn doesn't have the blood of 100 million people on its hands. Or perhaps the Greeks should continue to support establishment parties that will ram ever more severe austerity measures through just to prop up Brussels' single currency experiment?
I think USA would win in that raceIs that a uniquely European habit? How often does America have wars?

Philotheti said:Cyprus has communism I did not see anything 'extreme' hapenning to them
Philotheti said:Fascism is NOT equal to communism
You cannot compare the two by far modern time communism is a type of socialism
What did the second "S" in "USSR" stand for?
The flags of Yemen and Trinidad are red, white and black. I suppose the Cuban government must be pro-American because its flag is red, white and blue. I don't know what to tell you if you can't tell the difference between a meander and a swastika, I can tell them apart quite easily.
