A few years back, when Golden Dawn were consolidating their power amidst the debt crisis, so many short-sighted Westerners sneered at Greece, as if it was going to be an isolated incident that would only happen in an inferior southern country. Now the far-right are running rampant across Europe. It's nice to see Greece leading the way in anti-fascism. It is possible. May we see the same in other countries soon.
There is always work to be done, but Greeks should be proud of the steps taken so far. Take a look at countries like the UK or Italy who have capitulated to the far-right with very little pushback, and disastrous consequences. You can always count on Greeks to hit the streets, protest, and make results like this happen. From the very docile and apathetic UK political scene I admire this quality.
