I think it is very clear at this point that a significant number of GD leadership were pimps, extortionists and common criminals in general that used the mantle of national socialism to further their criminal activities. Of course there is no way to tell how many members/voters of GD were aware or suspecting these facts.For me, the pressing question lies elsewhere: how these people were elected by a sizable number of our fellow citizens?One could argue that the choices of the Greek people in past elections was far from clever and far from being statements of ideological inclination. We are the same people who consistently voted for parties that ravaged the country, often on the basis of electoral clientele, personal and systemic corruption. In that sense, GD was not that different: a corrupt organisation, that fooled people willing to be fooled and coaxed them into voting for them.There are obviously differences in goals:the previous governments simply wished to hold on to power and further their grip on existing systemic assets, while GD's goal was to transform the system into an asset for ethnic and political cleansing by physically exterminating their opponents. There are differences in means: thuggery and street domination on the part of GD, enlargement and domination of the executive component of state by previous governments.I'm certain that there were "gangs" in previous and present administrations but GD looks at present like a gang in itself. What really makes the difference is that while prone to corruption other parties had to restrain their basest instincts and curtail the enthusiasm of the more criminally inclined in their membership; there were always a proportion of less corrupt members that somewhat counterbalanced the rest. In GD, this proportion was either too small or too far away from the decision making process. GD was a hyena, but unlike the others, unleashed.To vote for them is either a sign of collective idiocy or more likely one of thorough desperation.
