It's not that Syriza is revolutionary, it's that Syriza has the POTENTIAL to be revolutionary AND has the largest support base on the left in Greece. KKE, Antarzyia and even the left of PASOK hold the anti-austerity majority along with Syriza. A coalition against austerity could push Greece into socialist revolution.

Left parties are influenced by parties FARTHER to the left than they are. If KKE IS farther to the left than Syriza, a united front with Syriza could hold Syriza accountable. And it could also help the revolutionary parts of Syrizia to set up worker's councils, factory and workplace occupations and the restarting of closed factories and workplaces under worker's control and the arming of worker's militias. IOW, it could further the revolutionary agenda by following the fundamental Bolshevik model for setting up a dual power dynamic. This dual power setup is the next step in revolutionary politics. We would then see who the majority of the people of Greece followed. Would they follow the cobbled together government of austerity (cobbled together with the assistance of 50 extra parliamentary seats because of election rules) or the worker's councils?
