The French Communist Party

The French Communist Party (PCF) is a political organization in France that advocates for socialist and communist principles, emphasizing equality, workers' rights, and public ownership of resources. Founded in 1920, it seeks societal change through political engagement, supporting policies like social welfare, nationalization, and anti-capitalism. While it has historically been influential, especially in the mid-20th century, its support has declined in recent decades. The PCF operates within France’s democratic system, often collaborating with other left-wing parties, and aims to promote economic justice and social solidarity.
