The fascist issue is valid: the citizens nearly lynching looting immigrants (and then going on a rampage against immigrants in general in the name of law and order) were members of a nazi organization ("Golden Dawn").

However it is impressive how many people are disinclined to generalize about the protests from the havok. Having said that, this sort of blond pillaging points to a new and violent "angry youth" with no future, no political ideas and few family ties to constrain it. That this segment crosses even (parental) class lines to a certain extent, is possibly a Greek particularity (?)...
