The Anatomy of a Nazi Party in 21st Century Europe w/ Loukas Stamellos (E50)

This is a conversation with Loukas Stamellos. He's a member of the Greek grassroots media organisation OmniaTV and of the "Golden Dawn Watch"  initiative.Loukas and I spoke about Golden Dawn more generally, not just the trial that finally concluded that they are a criminal organisation but about  fascism in Greece and in Europe more broadly. He was really able to link Golden Dawn's fascism with wider trends such as nationalism and  xenophobia.You can view this episode as an informal second part to my previous conversation with Ghias Al Jundi,  a British-Syrian activist, on the recent fires in Greece's Moria camp  for refugees and migrants. That being said, both episodes are also  intended to stand on their own.In terms of additional links, I have used two previous podcast episodes  as part of my research for this episode. The first is a Guardian long  read based on an article written by Daniel Trilling for the publication. The audio version is here. The second is an interview by the podcast Radikaal with Daphne Halikiopoulo,  Professor in the Department of Political Science and International  Relations at the University of Reading in England.
