Where have I seen that symbol before...?
In the Greek elections held yesterday, the traditional socialist and conservative duo fell to unknown dephts- together, they barely got 35% of the vote, and are two seats short of a majority in the Parliament. The other 151 seats were divided between the Communists (which became the second force) and a bunch of Nationalist and Anti-European Conservative parties.
From all these, there is a party that stands out: Golden Dawn. With a mixture of populism, nationalism and racism, all of that emblazoned by a Swastika-like logo.

Is a rise of new Fascism possible in this crisis? When people are desperate, all-controlling leaders have it easier to rise and shine. Are we going back to the post-WWI depression age?
