Neonazis go into the streets to honour the Greek heroes

As every year by this time, the Greek party "Aurora Dorada" (AD) organized on Saturday the 31st of January an act to honour the heroes of Imia, the three Greek soldiers that died in 1996 during the worst military conflict between Greece and Turkey. But this time, it was different due to some reasons; one of them is that the neonazi party won the third place in the elections celebrated on Sunday 25th. This means, more people support the ideologies of Aurora Dorada each time.
AD is the biggest neonazi party in Greece, founded in the 1980s and with Nikolaos Michaololiakos as its leader. Some of its habitual practices are, for example, to distribute food only between Greeks, denying the right to eat to men, women, or hungry children due to their skin colour, their religion, or nationality.


Now, let's explain these type of practices with history. Neonazis have their origin, obviously, in nazi people and in Germany. But Hiter and his ideas didn't just appear from nothing. To see where these ideologies come from, we have to go even further, that is, to the 19th century.
As a reaction to the return to absolutism, two political ideologies emerged. They are called liberalism and nationalism. But actually, it is nationalism the one that interests us the most.
Nationalism also originated from the struggle of some countries to free themselves from domination by Napoleon. Then, it is an ideology that argued in favour to the right of people to establish their own independent states. They wanted their countries to have clearly defined borders; besides, their population would have a common history, language and culture, that will create a well-integrated society. This didn't only affect politics, but many other things like music, and will have a great influence in the future, like the impact it had in the nazi community. So, with that, history has explained us the way of thinking of the people who stared in this new.
