ELI5: Syriza won the Greek general election. What does this mean for Greece and Europe in general?

Is the fact that they're "anti-austerity" actually good? Did most people just vote for them because of that keyword? With this win, does it mean that Greece is closer to getting out of the EU? I tend to pay attention to current events, mainly those in Europe since it's where I live, but the whole greek situation has kinda slipped by me so i just know the basics. Would like to get filled in on the details (albeit "5yo" details).

It means a game of chicken is now going to be played.

The Greeks have 7 billion euro of debt that must be paid this summer.  They do not have 7 billion euro to pay it.  The plan is that they will borrow that money from other governments and central banks.  That plan is contingent on Greece following through on various commitments it has made to cut expenses and raise revenues.

Syriza says it will not make those cuts or raise those revenues.

If the EU blinks, they'll refinance that debt and let the Greeks operate outside their commitments.

If Syriza blinks, they'll honor the deal made by the previous government.

If neither side blinks, the Greeks will not be able to roll over that 7 billion euro debt and they will default.  After they default, the pressure to expel them from the eurozone, and then to expel them from the EU will be overwhelming, and they'll probably be forced out.

Then they'll re-institute the old Greek currency, the Drachma, which will immediately inflate because it is worth less than the euro, and Greece will have to operate with a balanced budget because for a few years at least nobody will lend it any money - which means it will make deeper cuts, and raise more revenue than it would have had to do if it had honored its commitments in the first place.

The logic is nonsense.  People in Greece are voting because they're angry and tired and hating the fact that they have nobody to blame but themselves for their economic problems.
