“Mr. Lapavitsas describes the party’s platform as ‘a Keynesian program with redistribution attached, with some Marxist view of the world.’ He adds: ‘We are not ashamed of that.’ In the tradition of John Maynard Keynes, Syriza advocates public spending to reignite economic growth. Greece can afford to spend more if some of its debt is forgiven by other countries. Nikolaos Chountis, a Syriza candidate in Athens, ticks off the party’s spending priorities: food and electricity subsidies for impoverished households, a pension boost for the poorest retirees, a hike in the minimum wage and tax cuts for low earners.”
