"History repeats when no-one learns the lessons..."

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012...r-right-greece

Just as we have seen some countries go to the left to try and cope with this crisis, others are going to go right...some more than others. We've seen the beginnings in Finland and Holland, but the seeds are planted deeper in Greece because it's in Greece that the crisis is hitting home the hardest, just like Germany in the early 1930s.
It's not likely that the Golden Dawn are going to take over the Greek government, Europe remembers the Nazis too well to let the far right take control of a country again, but that sentiment can rise in any manner of forms, be it more 'Brevik' style attacks, or just a rise in anti-immigration policies.
With Merkel and Hollande unlikely to agree to anything lasting, and Merkels party alliance facing trouble at home...

These will be dark days for Europe...and thus eventually, the world, for economic markets are so interlinked that if Europe goes down the pan, Japan, America and China will follow. Already the Japanese markets are down because of the news in Greece and France.
