History

Initially in 1991, the Coordination Communiste pour la Continuité Révolutionnaire et la Renaissance Léniniste du PCF (CC) was established as an internal faction of the Parti Communiste Français (PCF) by party's orthodox marxists-leninists members. In 1994, its press organ named Intervention Communiste (IC) was launched. At the faction’s 4th national conference, a minority group led by Georges Gastaud split and established the Coordination des Militants Communistes du PCF pour sa Continuité Révolutionnaire et sa Renaissance Léniniste (CMC) staying in the PCF, which would eventually become the Pôle de renaissance communiste en France (PRCF).

The majority left the PCF and established the Coordination Communiste pour la Reconstruction d'un Parti Communiste Révolutionnaire (CC) led by Jean-Luc Sallé and Maurice Cukierman, which would eventually form the Union Révolutionaire Communistes de France in 2004.

Maurice Cukierman died on July 24 2020.[2][3] The party has two deputy general secretaries Pierre Komorov (PK) and Emmanuelle Kraemer and a next central committee meeting will decide on the general secretariat.

Ideology

The PCRF is an anti-revisionist communist party and upholds the legacy of the Soviet Union as a socialist country until the Perestroika period during Mikhail Gorbachev’s leadership. It considers the policy initiated by Nikita Khrushchev’s leadership initiated as degenerative and a step back from a socialist system to a capitalist one, a process which continued until Mikhail Gorbachev’s leadership, during which the capitalist regime was restored after the 1985-1991 counter-revolution. The PCRF recognizes the states of Cuba and the DPRK as the only examples of countries that built socialism at the moment, however, the party is not supportive of China, which it views as an emerging imperialist power.

Election results

The PCRF participated in the 2017 election for the National Assembly, fielding candidates in two constituencies.[4]

gollark: The experimental HTTP/3 support isn't really working out, so I might just switch back to the arch repos' nginx.
gollark: They *are* quite well-documented as mostly using horrible hybrids of nginx (400 lines of config now, and also I had to compile a custom build myself), Python, Node.js, and some static site compilers.
gollark: And I *did* use Golang in my foolish youth.
gollark: Palaiologos is clearly trying to deflect from the real point here, which is that they secretly use rust for all things.
gollark: As you're my alt, and that means you're also me, and I like Rust and dislike C, you obviously must like rust and dislike C, but be too ashamed to admit it.
