Kapselin vastainen vasen yhteistyö kaataa poliittisen puolueen

The Greek Anticapitalist Left Cooperation for the Overthrow, known in Greece by its acronym ANTARSYA, which blends the words for "mutiny" and "anti-capitalist," is a political coalition that emerged from an alliance of various far-left…   groups, organizations, and independent activists. Formed in the late 2000s, ANTARSYA represents a spectrum of the radical left that is distinct from the more mainstream leftist and socialist parties in Greece, such as SYRIZA. Its foundation is rooted in a strong opposition to capitalism, neoliberal policies, and the austerity measures that have been imposed on Greece, especially during the financial crises that have hit the country and the broader European Union.<br /><br />ANTARSYA's values are deeply entrenched in anti-capitalist ideology, advocating for a complete overthrow of the capitalist system rather than reforming it. The party calls for the nationalization of major industries and services, placing them under the control of workers and the community, to ensure that they serve the public interest rather than private profit. It also champions the rights of workers, immigrants, and marginalized communities, pushing for policies that promote social justice, equality, and environmental sustainability.<br /><br />The party is critical of the European Union's economic policies and Greece's participation in the eurozone, arguing that these structures inherently serve capitalist interests and exacerbate inequality and exploitation. ANTARSYA, therefore, advocates for Greece's exit from the eurozone and proposes alternative economic models that prioritize people's needs over market demands.<br /><br />In terms of political strategy, ANTARSYA emphasizes grassroots activism, direct action, and the building of solidarity movements across different sectors of society. It seeks to mobilize workers, students, and other groups in opposition to austerity, privatization, and other policies perceived as unjust, aiming to create a broad-based movement capable of challenging the existing political and economic order.<br /><br />While ANTARSYA has not achieved significant electoral success, its influence is seen more in its activism and its role in organizing protests, strikes, and other forms of direct action. The party's commitment to a radical transformation of society and its stance against compromise with the capitalist system set it apart from other leftist groups in Greece, making it a voice for those who seek a more profound change in the direction of socialism and direct democracy.Lue lisää
