The development of Greece's left-wing party politicals is a microcosm of the world socialist movement.The differences between left-wing schools and their theoretical models and practical paths make Greece an arena of socialist thought.Of all the left-wing parties in Greece,the emergence of Syriza after the debt crisis of 2009,which deserves particularly noteworthy.The Syriza that originally separated from the Greek communist party(KKE)embarked on differents paths of Exploring Socialism due to the differences in political line,struggle strategy and organizational model in the 1950 s and 1960 s.The KKE still followed the orthodox Marxist-Leninist doctrine of the Soviet Union,while the latter chose to follow the Italian Communist Party and the French Communist Party,taking European Communism as its ideological core.Before the debt crisis in 2009,the KKE had always outperformed the Syriza,but after the crisis,the latter rose rapidly,from the fifth marginal position in the 2009 elections to the largest opposition party in the May 2012 elections.Through the integration in 2013 and a series of theoretical and policy adjustments,the party became the largest parliamentary party in the January 2015 elections,and then came to power.In the view of many scholars,the rapid rise of the Syriza is a by-product of Greece's debt crisis,but other scholars believe that the real determinant of the party's rise is its electoral strategy and manipulation skills.This paper tries to take the protest voting theory,the election market theory and the new social cleavage theory as the framework to analysis the radical left parties across Europe in nearly a decade,thereby probe into the profound causes behind the rise of the radical left party of Greek deeply.At the same time,combining with the party's historical evolution and ideological demands,to reveal the influence of its ruling on Greek political pattern and international socialist movement,and evaluates the party's performance of its ruling.The main purpose of this paper is,on the one hand,to explain that the rise of the Syriza is not only a by-product of the crisis,but also a general political phenomenon formed by various factors through the analysis of the social structural factors,the competition between the political party system and the political party,and the political propositions and electoral strategies it provides.On the other hand,through the analysis of the reasons for the rise of the radical left-wing alliance and its governing effect,this paper further summarizes the experience and lessons that the rise of the radical left-wing alliance can provide to other left-wing political parties,so as to explore the gist and purpose of the rapid development of the International Communist movement.
