Is the Golden Dawn Neo-Nazi?

[California8429]

Since they are gaining power and there is widespread debate.

There's no doubt they at times praise nazism or even deny the holocaust. I'm not sure they are Neo-Nazis, but they certainly are following in their steps. They have popular support from police and are making inroads with the poor. They blame the country's problems on all foreigners (in place of Jews) and are highly nationalistic. I'm not sure they could yet classify as fascist though since I don't think they have the backing of major corporations/a want for government and corporate greece to merge, but I haven't read too much about them.

Watching them is interesting. While many would think it odd or impossible for such an organization to take control of a government, I think it is possible here. Greece is in economic chaos, there is great potential to rally behind nationalism/xenophobia, there is legitimacy problems in the national government as perceived by the public, the poor and the police are powerful political allies to have...
Then again I recently watched "The Wave"
