After the murder of Greek anti-fascist hip-hop artist Pavlos Fyssas, allegedly by supporters of the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn party, strikes and demonstrations have erupted across Greece in opposition to fascist terror. In the midst of depression-level unemployment being enforced upon Greece by the EU, a strengthened fascist movement is hardly surprising. The rapid rise of Golden Dawn, which polled 7% in the 2012 Greek election after getting only 0.3% of the vote in 2009, is expressed through savage attacks by affiliated paramilitary thugs by affiliated paramilitary thugs. Neither of these phenomena would be possible without the votes and tacit (or sometimes explicit) support of the police.

Moving to channel popular anger behind inoffensive channels, various trade unions and so-called left political parties and organizations are attempting to popularize the demand that the government ban Golden Dawn, while doing their best to prevent open class conflict by limiting the duration of the strikes workers are overwhelmingly voting for. Would banning Golden Dawn be a step forward in the fight against a fascist terror whose key constituency is the police? Probably not. Would giving the Greek state the power to ban political parties pose a serious threat to Greek democracy and to the Greek working class?  Of course.

We invite you to join us to discuss the implications of the rise of fascism in Greece, and the steps we can take at home and abroad in the fight against fascism and the threat of a police state.
