'From the Bottom of the Aegean Sea' to Golden Dawn: Security, Xenophobia, and the Politics of Hate in Greece

"Greece belongs to the West" declared, simplistically, one of the most famous political leaders of the Greek Right in the 1970s. However, his family name was Karamanlis, stemming etymologically from the Turkish language. Precisely like the surnames of a lot of Greeks including several nationalists, even leading neo-Nazis of the Golden Dawn party. The press officer and MP of Golden Dawn, Kassidiaris, has stated repeatedly the hate of the party for Turks, Muslims, Jews, non-white people, migrants, communists, anarchists, and more or less the rest of humanity apart from Nazis. Unfortunately for him, he fell victim to his own ideology.
