The rise of ultra-right wing ideas and ultra-right wing organizations' may lead to a resurgence of Nazism. History reminds us that similar trends must be stopped, says an article in the People's Daily. Excerpts:

English Premier League club Sunderland appointed Paolo di Canio as its coach. After the Italian claimed he is a fascist, the club's vice-chairman David Miliband quit his job the next day.

Di Canio carries a tattoo with a portrait of Mussolini on his back and was seen giving a Nazi salute in soccer matches. Miliband, the United Kingdom's former foreign secretary, made a politically correct choice.

Meanwhile, Giorgos Katidis, a soccer player from Greece, has been banned for life from the Greek national team after a goal celebration last month, which looked like a Nazi salute.

The international community should be aware of the possible resurgence of the ultra-right ideology in the debt-ridden European countries, because the financial crisis may create a favorable environment for a revival of the evil movement.

History is a competition between education and disaster. The world must be vigilant to these disgusting and dangerous phenomena and criticize fascists to defend historical justice and protect world peace and stability.
