The paper examines the case of far right populism in three political parties in Greece, the Golden Dawn, LAOS and ANEL. Since 2007 different forms of far right populist parties have managed not only a successful parliamentary representation but also participation in coalition governments. With a realignment of the electorate away from the established political parties, far right populism, with rhetoric on nationalism, extremism, xenophobia and racism has achieved a strong impact. The analysis focuses on monitoring the thread that led to the support of such parties with a challenging level of legitimacy, and aims to propose a sense of a collective identity and a wider understanding of the popularised version of hate crimes in a profoundly entrapped country struggling to overcome a period of economic and socio-political crisis.

This paper explores such processes of urban commoning and the ways in which they are connected to emerging communities in movement as well as to the creation of new kinds of political subjectivation. Subjects belonging to such communities tend to escape dominant classifications of political and social identities and to participate in acts that create urban threshold spaces. Thus, liminality characterizes both the subjects and the spaces of the occupied squares movement.
