The Anticapitalist Left Cooperation for the Overthrow (Greek: Αντικαπιταλιστική Αριστερή Συνεργασία για την Ανατροπή, romanized: Antikapitalistiki Aristeri Synergasia gia tin Anatropi), better known domestically by the acronym ΑΝΤ.ΑΡ.ΣΥ.Α. (transliterated to English: ANT.AR.SY.A), is a coalition of radical-left political organisations in Greece.
Foundation
ANTARSYA was founded on 22 March 2009 in Athens by organisations and independent militants with origins in the now-defunct coalitions of the Radical Left Front and the United Anti-Capitalist Left. As a member of the latter, the Trotskyist and still-extant Workers Revolutionary Party objected to the foundation of such a coalition and left the UAL.
The Organisation of Internationalist Communists of Greece (Greek: Οργάνωση Κομμουνιστών Διεθνιστών Ελλάδας, romanized: Organosi Kommouniston Diethniston Elladas), a Trotskyist party, participated in the foundation but left after a few weeks, on 18 May 2009, citing objections to what it perceived as the coalition "reformist" focus on parliamentary politics and to the invocation in the foundational document of historical events on which Trotskyists have a very different view.
Members
As of 2023, the coalition's members are the Revolutionary Communist Movement of Greece (EKKE), the New Left Current, (NAR), the Youth of Communist Liberation, the Alternative Ecologists, the Organization of Communist Internationalists of Greece–Spartacus, the Initiative for an anticapitalist revolutionary ANTARSYA, and the Socialist Workers' Party.
Ideology and political platform
The coalition describes itself as a "front of the anticapitalist, revolutionary, communist left, and of radical ecology" in Greece. Its major positions are
Exit from the European Union and the Eurozone, with re-adoption of a national currency,
Default on Greece's debt, and
Nationalization without compensation of all major industries in the country.
Τhe formation of ANTARSYA is understood to have been in explicit opposition to what the radical left in Greece assessed as the "social reformism" of Syriza and its leadership, which ultimately stood in support of austerity policies.
The coalition also supports a comprehensive banning of layoffs; a minimum salary, currently determined to the amount of 1,400 euros per month; a reduction of working time to 35 hours per week, without reduction in wages; complete disarmament of the Greek police; the granting of full political and social rights to all immigrants; and an eco-socialist response to the ecological crisis.
Election results
ANTARSYA's participation in the electoral, parliamentary process commenced with the European Parliament elections in June 2009, where the coalition took in 21,951 votes or 0.43% of the total. It participated in the October 4, 2009 general elections, listing candidates in every constituency and obtaining 24,737 votes, or 0.36% of the total.
In the September 2015 Greek legislative election, it formed an alliance with the Workers Revolutionary Party.
