The letter Z was banned in Greece

I just saw the movie "Z", a historical drama made in 1969 about real events that happened in Greece in 1963.

Essentially, it's about how the State commits then covers up it's crimes ("crimes" in this sense meaning actually breaking the law, as opposed to the immorality of the law itself). The Greek state back in '63 killed the leader of the opposition party (had him killed would be another way to say the same thing) and proceeded to eliminate any witnesses that wouldn't give the State's version of events: that the death was an 'accident'. If you check it out, listen to the State officials and their minions talk about the "healthy society" and the "infection" represented by the leftists, pacifists, atheists...etc. Of course I don't know if they truly talked with these facist sentiments, but the question is, can we find any of that language being used today? Because when you here those ideas-biological infection of society, obediance to God, preservation of Western Civilization-you know fascism can't be far behind.

So at the end, when the State couldn't cover up its crimes, it merely created a dictatorship, purged the law, made the guilty innocent, and the victims into the guilty. And banned anything that would give people ideas. Like books. And apparently the letter Z in Greek means "he is alive"-in this context, the opposition leader who had been killed. Of course, in a dictatorship you want to erase memory to the extent possible. And hence Z was also banned.

Funny, I don't remember being taught this stuff in school. But surely our democracy is strong enough to prevent dictatorship.
