@asteris@iptamenos33 Me too.The victors always shape dominant collective memory. But other narratives are still stronger here than elswhere -
@lilyinfidel@asteris and what do you mean with 'other narratives'? The narratives of the losers (i.e. Golden Dawn)?#diplhs -
@iptamenos33@asteris No. They're not the losers. I mean that memories/narratives of anti-fascist, local struggles are still more alive here -
@lilyinfidel@asteris you're probably right. Doesn't seem to be enough to stop fascism though. -
@iptamenos33@asteris No, you're right. But it does inspire those who wish to fight it. Doesn't it? -
@iptamenos33@asteris No you're right. But they do inspire those who wish to fight fascism, don't they? (correction)
