Greek officials announced Wednesday they would ban the fascist party Golden Dawn, after its members were accused of murdering anti-fascist hip-hop musician Pavlos Fyssas, 34, in broad daylight early yesterday morning.
As he left a café in the Athens suburb of Keratsini, Fyssas was attacked by about 15 neo-Nazis whom eyewitnesses identified as supporters and members of Golden Dawn. When Fyssas and his three companions sought to flee, a car blocked the road and another group of 10 men advanced on them. One of the attackers pulled a knife and stabbed Fyssas twice.

1. Interesting

Not a lone nut like some of the Islamic assassins in the west. Who was the Dutch director, theo Von sant? Radicalized nut but operating alone. This attack was organized and brazen. What made them so confident?

3. The police support them.

4. They were confident because they had the covert backing of the ........

owners and the cops. But because the death might have gone too far, the systemic backers are now having to back up a step. As I said in my other post though, I look for them to try and ban worker's orgs at the same time or shortly thereafter.

2. Sounds like SEP (wsws parent org) is moving left......

I guess the capitalists in Greece think they've got things under control if they can talk about banning their Golden Dawn toadies.

But the article is right. Banning GD would just be step one. In the name of a false equivalency, they will ban working class organizations next and maybe at the same time. Watch for the wording on any law passed and see.

5. In the end, that is all the right has, murder and violence.

How far are we from becoming just like Greece today? Not far imo.
