This party wasn't banned until the law ruled their murder and other violence unlawful. They had seats in parliament.

Some members of the party may have committed violence but not all of them, using your logic if a politician of a specific party commits a crime then the party must be declared unlawful and be disbanded which does not make any sense.

I read that it was something like over 60 influential members involved. It’s like saying how can we blame Facebook on the Jews, not everyone leading it/working there is anti-white and Jewish.

6 leaders and 61 other party members:

The courts claimed that every MP was responsible for unspecified crimes. As for the Jews, they demanded that Golden Dawn was outlawed, and actually one day after the final verdict they visited their puppet to congratulate him. Here are some photos as well:

Really weak analogy. White nationalists don't blame 'facebook' on the jews. That's a strawman of the JQ argument.

Replace Facebook with any anti-white Jewish run organization that has some non-Jews working there, and the analogy works better.

So are we going to ban the democratic party over multiple violent assaults, riots and murders by leftists/BLM activists they have openly supported, encouraged and protected from prosecution?

The majority of the high ranks in the Democratic Party aren’t involved in that, or at least no evidence of such which can’t be said for Golden Dawn.

which can’t be said for Golden Dawn

And how do you know what can be said about Golden Dawn? The court ruled that just by being elected the GD MPs were responsible for a former communist party member stabbing someone in a street brawl.

Read the source.

The "source" states what the court said, not whether the court decision was legal.

No, it doesn't. You should read the citations as well as the wikipedia article.

Are you really that thick?

Let's take this "source" for example:

In recent months, Golden Dawn has been accused of perpetrating attacks on migrants and political opponents - including an attack on Communist Party members earlier this month which is said to have left nine people in hospital.

The attackers were not found and Poulikogiannis claimed they were GD. Poulikogiannis was supposed to be a major "witness" during the trial, making all sorts of claims. You can see who Poulikogiannis is on the left of this photo: https://pic8.co/sh/0Sz1Zq.jpeg

Also on the left in this photo along with his death squad: https://pic8.co/sh/F1msNW.jpeg

And here is the same person at the trial: https://pic8.co/sh/phjcSR.jpeg

So who is the criminal here? And why Poulikogiannis, member of the Communist Party, has never been charged for these attacks?

And here is another of your "sources":

Makis Voridis, a politician with the governing New Democracy Party, told the BBC's Newshour that the police had made the right decision on the arrests.

Here is Makis Voridis carrying a weapon in the streets of Athens: https://pic8.co/sh/od22sL.jpeg

So maybe you should shut up instead of talking about things you know nothing about?

You're arguing with your eyes shut.

And how do you know what can be said about Golden Dawn?

Some more citations from the article (Greek Sources):

There's just plenty of support that points towards Golden Dawn being a criminal organization. The leaders were found to be involved, that's what separates them from the Democratic Party, there's just so much more evidence the higher ranks are criminals themselves in Golden Dawn.

I'm going to ask you once again: Are you really that thick?

Have you even tried to visit the links?

you're ruining the obsessive victimhood mentality !!!

The party had been denied access to the means available to other parties and was under constant police attack. There was no murder involved, unless you mean the assassination of two of its members by paramilitaries which the state has conveniently failed to investigate.
