Communist Party of France

The Communist Party of France (Parti communiste français, PCF) is a political organization founded in 1920 that advocates for socialist principles, workers' rights, and equality. It aligns with Marxist-Leninist ideologies, promoting public ownership and social justice. Historically influential, especially in the mid-20th century, the PCF has sought to shape policies through electoral participation and activism. While its influence has waned over recent decades, it remains a significant voice on the French left, emphasizing social welfare, anti-imperialism, and economic equality within a democratic framework.
