In Ukraine: Reports Of Soldiers Switching To Pro-Russia Side : The Two-Way : NPR
The Fascist Menace Across the Continent
Ukraine and the rise of right wing extremism there cannot be seen, let alone understood, in isolation. Rather, it must be examined as part of a growing trend throughout Europe (and indeed the world) a trend which threatens the very foundations of democracy.
In Greece, savage austerity imposed by the troika (IMF, ECB, and European Commission) has crippled the countrys economy, leading to a depression as bad, if not worse, than the Great Depression in the United States. It is against this backdrop of economic collapse that the Golden Dawn party has grown to become the third most popular political party in the country. Espousing an ideology of hate, the Golden Dawn in effect a Nazi party that promotes anti-Jewish, anti-immigrant, anti-women chauvinism is a political force that the government in Athens has understood to be a serious threat to the very fabric of society. It is this threat which led the government to arrest the partys leadership after a Golden Dawn Nazi fatally stabbed an anti-fascist rapper. Athens has launched an investigation into the party, though the results of this investigation and trial remain somewhat unclear.
