Neo‐Nazism and Neoliberalism: A Few Comments on Violence in Athens At the Time of Crisis

Abstract

The so‐called Greek crisis implies a rapid transition towards a regime of extreme neoliberalism, but it also implies the rise of the extreme Right. This article examines briefly the rise of Greek neo‐Nazism and a genealogy of its violence. It emphasizes the links between formal and informal violent state apparatuses, focusing on the paradigmatic turn of the form of governance in Greece towards authoritarianism and extreme‐Right wing discourses and practices.
