Another election in Europe, another warning about nationalists.

This time it’s in Greece, where Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos is warning about the rise of the ‘Golden Dawn’ party, a far-right party that’s drawing enough in the latest polls to perhaps enter parliament.

From Ekathimerini

In an interview, the former finance minister warned against the rise of the ultra-nationalist party Golden Dawn, which could win around 5 percent of the vote, comfortably above the 3 percent threshold for entering parliament.

“Golden Dawn is an extreme phenomenon, I believe they are an example of fascism and we radically oppose them. It’s an offense to our history and to parliament,» he told Reuters, suggesting Greece could be experiencing its version of Germany’s «Weimar» years which led to the rise of the Nazi Party and Adolf Hitler.

Golden Dawn, which vows to expel both legal and illegal immigrants and meets under a flag of an ancient Greek symbol similar to the swastika, has won over many of Greece’s poor by giving away clothes and food parcels.

Via Wikipedia, here’s the party’s flag. Not subtle.

Anyway, warnings about similarities to Nazi/Weimar times are always fraught with risk, though Venizelos is making the same point that Dylan Grice made last year, in his famous chart comparing unemployment to the share of the Nazi party in Germany.

When you look at nationalists bubbling up around Europe, there are at least some faint echoes of the past playing out.

  1. I’m trying hard to think of something to say. Oh, yes, here’s one.
    My father (in the employ of the ministry of Defence) once said to me bluntly when I was about nine-years old, whilst trying to encourage me to be aggressive and on the defensive, in what I could then and now still only conclude was a most senseless and insensitive manner: —

    “Hitler was a Genius”.

    You got it. I’m still wracking my brains to figure out that my father hadn’t lost his mind long long before he said that. And I always reach the conclusion that giving credence to extremist fears by the insane anti-logic of the anti-intuitive argument is no way to ‘win hearts and minds’ especially not of those closest to you, either familiarly, politically or geographically.

    Perhaps abuse of free-speech is an issue after all?

  2. There is an occult group called the Order of the Golden Dawn. There is also more recently (maybe 1970′s) a New Reformed Order of the Golden Dawn. Aleister Crowley was involved with the Golden Dawn. They had some kind of witchy war and broke up into factions. It’s kind of famous in occult history.

  3. So many far leftist/illuminati/NWO groups have this “dawn of a new day” meme going on, too. You can see rising suns on a lot of Communist crests/flags. The Obama logo looks like one kind of.

    look at this Jordan Maxwell video about it. (take out the space) it’s a pretty long video.
    My previous attempt at comment got hung up for the URL. I took out the beginning of the URL just add the usual preface

  4. You are being taken for a ride, and don’t know it!

    This whole article is a good example of the “guilt by association” logical fallacy.

    “The guilt by association” logical fallacy, is where you associate a political platform with an object the audience don’t like, in order to get them to dismiss it.
    The opposite is the “appeal to authority” logical fallacy, where you associate a political platform with an object the auduience does like, in order to get them to accept it.

    This article argues the the Greek Golden-Dawn-party symbol looks kind of like the Nazi Party symbol, therefore the audience can dismiss Golden Dawn’s platform.

    Another example is: xxx is a vegetarian, and Hitler was a vegetarian, therefore you can dismiss everything xxx says.

    The “The guilt by association” logical fallacy, when the disliked object of association is Hitler or the Nazi party, is given one of these special names:
    “playing the Nazi card”
    “playing the Hitler card”
    “Reductio ad Hitlerum”

    And it that special variant we see here today in this article. It is very popular among Jewish journalists, and Joe Weisenthal of Business Insider is Jewish.
