Radical Left Parties in Government

Focusing on the political trajectories of Greek SYRIZA and Cypriot AKEL, this analysis explores how these radical left parties attained government power during a critical crisis in capitalism. It examines their governance experiences and the implications for left-wing radicals in Europe, particularly in light of rising figures like Corbyn and Podemos. The author delves into the broader consequences of leftist governance, questioning expectations versus reality in political practice and the challenges faced by radical parties in power.
