Abstract
It was once said of the French Communist Party that it was ‘pas un parti comme les autres’ (not a party like the others), and indeed it was not. It was a Leninist bureaucracy, financed by and subservient to the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and dedicated as an anti-system party in France to the overthrow of both the country’s political and economic systems. Commanding a quarter of the votes in the 1940s and 1950s, and a fifth in the 1960s and 1970s, it exercised a veto power over the rest of the French left.KeywordsGross Domestic ProductCommunist PartySocial DemocracyPension ReformSocialist PartyThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
