It proves that people like Hitler can still be elected today. If the NDSAP was still alive today, it'd look like Golden Dawn, and I'm sure Hitler/Goebells/Himmler would have punched the commie lady, too. Oh, and technically, Golden Dawn isn't a right-wing party, its nationalist. I don't believe their economic answer is free-market right wing ideas, so shouldn't be noted as being right wing. |
The right wing and free markets have not been aligned historically, that has only been the case in Europe after the rise of Labour and the fall of old-school liberalism (when the old-school liberals who were more market-oriented migrated to the Conservatives and the more people-oriented liberals migrated to Labour), and in America where the right aligned with business interests from the beginning. It was long that the Conservatives were an anti-business party in Great Britain, for instance. Left and Right is more a social function than an economic one, which is why you get people like Hitler and Stalin who had so much in common about how to run a country, but were otherwise out to destroy each other over core ideological disagreements.
