This is certainly a very interesting claim this Greek from Sweden is making. We have never heard of a Group in Greece called “Patriotic Front” that this man supposedly belongs to. Perhaps it is a bad translation.

In any case, we would have to look at the person making these claims with suspicion. First, he is claiming to be a former member of Golden Dawn without giving details of who he is, all we can do is look at his opinions and claims to try to get a picture of his true political motivations.

While none of us have been to Sweden here in Golden Dawn New York, a few of us have heard things about Greeks living in these countries, particularly Scandinavia that they become poisoned with some of the same type of leftist ideology poisoning Scandinavians. The combination of that with living relatively comfortably in a social welfare state makes Nationalistic minded Greeks coming out of these places extremely rare, much more rare than in New York.

That in mind we have heard that some of these leftist Greeks in places like Sweden and Germany make company with Turkish and other immigrants and become friends, they begin to develop ideas and behaviour that we find disgusting and treasonous.

Reading deeper and judging by what this person is claiming, leads us to believe that this is one of these types of people and that he was never a very active or hardcore member of Golden Dawn, assuming he was a member at all.

His claims also lead us to believe that he comes from a Greek communist background, in Greece unlike in Sweden many communists see themselves as “Patriots”. And it is likely in Sweden he has a few Turkish friends who he believes are not bad people (easy to think when you live well in Sweden and make good money as a leftist).

It seems he wants to tailor his ideology to fit his own lifestyle in Sweden which is why he rejects Golden Dawns position on Turks. He makes two claims which lead us to this conclusion.

The first claim is that because some Turks on the western coast of Turkey were or still have some Greek descent, we shouldn’t attack them just because they are Muslims today. (Atheistic/Communist Greek opinion). The second is he mentions the Greek army’s attempt to take the lost Greek homelands on what is now the western coast of Turkey was wrong and in fact a sort of “capitalist conspiracy” backed by foreign powers. (This was the Greek Communist party’s position during that time).

His claims about what Golden Dawns position is on Russia are inaccurate. He also wrongly compares Golden Dawn to Svoboda in Ukraine which is not very close to Golden Dawns ideology at all.

Golden Dawns main goal is to open up relations with Russia in order to open up alternative sources of energy and trade that Greece has been repeatedly cut off from due to the US and Israel controlling Greece’s policy for decades. Golden Dawn has never openly backed one Russian politician over another, it has merely reported on it’s talks with Russia on those issues.

So, we hope that this clears up and sheds light on what this “Greek Patriot” in Sweden is claiming, now that you can understand more about the political realities of Greece and Greeks living abroad.

Då organisationen som Panos sade sig tillhöra hade identifierats skrev ytterligare en person med alias Hellenic Nationalist följande gällande organisationen:

I think the group itself is fishy. It sounds like one of those CIA ops used in the Ukraine to mask American-Zionist schemes under the banner of “Eurasian Nationalism”. As for the comment from I think the *xaameriki* moderator that he probably comes from a communist background (if he exists at all in the real world). I’d like to remind us that many Greek Nationalists, including prominent ones, have come from that but through introspection and research come to their own conclusions on their political ideology.

A belief system is not something that’s necessarily inherited, although in the parochial society in Greece its often the case that one adopts his parents and grandparents party loyalty–to PASOK/Papandreo, ND/Karamanlis, the Venizelos/PASOK/Greeny left etc. etc. Here’s an interesting TV interview where Γιώργος Γερμενής [Giorgos Germenis red. anm.] admits that his own family were not only communists but that his grandpa fought in the mountains as a communist! Yet he managed to convert his entire family to Nationalism.
