Point is something like Nazi Germany can happen again, especially given poor economic climates.
Βeing from Greece,the rise of Golden Dawn from 0,4% to 6.9% of the votes today(and prognostics are saying that it can earn even 10% in next elections)it's more as a reaction of citizens in big cities who saw their neighboors turned into a ghetto from illegal immigration from middle east and central Asia and the harsh tax measures of government and the growing poverty and unemployment of the middle class in Greece.We still have to see how the things would progress,but if the worst case scenario would happen,Greece would not turn into a mini-Third Reich,but Serbia under Milosevitch or the current FYROM under ultra nationalist Nikola Gruevski.Still,it would not be pleasant to see my country stopping being a western country in mentality and turned into a nationalist conservative Balkan country.
