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 abbreviation ANTARSYA (ΑΝΤΑΡΣΥΑ), is a coalition of radical-left political organisations in Greece.
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 (MERA) and the United Anti-Capitalist Left (ENANTIA). As a member of the latter, the Trotskyist organization Workers Revolutionary Party objected to the foundation of such a coalition and left ENANTIA.
The Organisation of Internationalist Communists of Greece, 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.
As of 2023, the coalition's members are the Alternative Ecologists, the Initiative for an Anticapitalist Revolutionary ANTARSYA, the Communist Liberation, the Organization of Communist Internationalists of Greece–Spartacus, the Revolutionary Communist Movement of Greece (EKKE), the Socialist Workers' Party, and the Youth of Communist Liberation.
ANTARSYA (Greek: Αντικαπιταλιστική Αριστερή Συνεργασία για την Ανατροπή) outlines its programmatic priorities around anti-capitalism, workers rights, and social transformation. Its positions are expressed in party congress decisions and official declarations.
ANTARSYA advocates for the unilateral cancellation of Greece’s public debt, which it considers illegitimate and unsustainable. It calls for Greece to exit the eurozone and the European Union, arguing that membership prevents any meaningful anti-austerity or anti-capitalist policy. The party also supports nationalisation of banks and major industries under workers’ and popular control, without compensation where mismanagement or layoffs have occurred.
The coalition prioritises rebuilding class-based labour and social movements, restoring collective bargaining rights, wages and pensions reduced under austerity, and defending trade union freedoms. It calls for workers’ control in production, including cooperatives and occupations in sectors facing closure or redundancies.
ANTARSYA rejects external supervision by the EU, European Central Bank, or International Monetary Fund, and promotes popular sovereignty free from international lenders. It supports radical democratic reforms, expansion of participatory mechanisms, and defends civil liberties against authoritarian legislation.
