	Socialist Party (France) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1899 there was a realignment of French socialism, with the formation of the Socialist Party of France (Parti Socialiste de France) on the left and the French Socialist Party (Parti Socialiste Français) on the right, led by Alexandre Millerand.
		Because of this, the Socialist party is often criticised by groups further to the left such as the Workers' Struggle (Lutte Ouvrière) and the Revolutionary Communist League as being no longer a truly socialist party.
		At the 1995 presidential election, Mitterrand retired, and the Socialist candidate, Lionel Jospin, was defeated by Jacques Chirac.

		The French Communist Party (French: Parti communiste français or PCF) is France's largest communist party and a member of the European Left group.
		Tensions within the Socialist Party had emerged in 1914 with the start of the First World War, which saw the majority of the SFIO take what left-wing socialists called a "social-chauvinist" line in support of the French war effort.
		Like all Comintern parties, the PCF underwent a process of "Stalinisation" in which a pro-Stalin leadership under Maurice Thorez was installed in 1930 and all internal dissent banned.

		The French Socialist Party (SP) convened a public meeting April 30, on the eve of the May Day protests against neo-fascist Jean-Marie Le Pen and his National Front, in an effort to consolidate its political forces and prepare for the legislative elections to be held in two rounds, June 9 and 16.
		The Socialist Party is a bourgeois party, dedicated to the defense of the profit system, and staffed primarily by members of the middle class and upper-middle class.
		This is to sow the worst sort of complacency in the French population.

		In 1919 this faction withdrew from the party, thereby substantially weakening it, and formed the Communist party of the United States.

		The Socialist Party is a class party whose aim is to socialize the means of production and distribution, that is to transform capitalist society into a collectivist or communist society, and to adopt as its means the economic or political organization of the proletariat.
		By its purpose, its ideal, by the means it adopts, the Socialist Party, while pursuing the achievement of the immediate reforms claimed by the working class, is not a party of reform but a party of class war and revolution.
		In Parliament the Socialist group must dedicate itself to the defense and the extension of the political liberties and rights of the workers, to the pursuit and realization of reforms such as will improve the conditions of life and advance the struggle of the working class.

	FRONT POPULAIRE
		At the Annual Congress of the French Socialist Party in Tours in December 1920, part of the party broke away to form what would become the PCF with a new allegiance to Moscow, whilst the remainder stayed faithful to the ideals of the French Republic.
		The French Socialists were surprised by the apparant sudden change of heart and attributed it, quite rightly to the changes in the foreign policy of the Soviet Union.
		In 1937, the 'Gauche révolutionnaire' was disssolved and Pivert was expelled from the party.

	Communist Party
		The Socialist Party was less successful during this period and embarked on a strategy of electoral union with the communists and other left-wing groups.
		It is less than three years since Thorez, the Secretary of the French Communist Party, was declaring that the French workers would never be bamboozled into fighting against their German comrades; he is now one of the loudest-lunged patriots in France.
		The clue to the behaviour of the Communist Party in any country is the military relation of that country, actual or potential, towards the USSR In England, for instance, the position is still uncertain, hence the English Communist Party is still hostile to the National Government, and, ostensibly, opposed to rearmament.

		The party congress, held on the eve of the European Union (EU) conference in Nice and in the run-up to a long campaign for the 2002 parliamentary and presidential elections, should have demonstrated agreement and unanimity.
		The Gauche Socialiste resolution was in the form of a letter from a young party member to the party chief, culminating with the vague demand that the Socialist Party "propose radical reforms, which break with the logic of the system".
		On the one hand, the inner-party "opposition" speaks for trade union and socialist party officials at all levels, and on the other hand for those radicalised layers of the middle class, who express their interests in different protest initiatives against the globalisation from Seattle to Millau.

		At a party leadership conference, members voted to approve a new list of leaders that excluded Fabius and others who had urged a French "no" in the run-up to France's May 29 referendum on the charter, the result of which sparked a government shake-up last week.
		Party leader Francois Hollande had been expected to call for changes to the top ranks to restore unity, though polls show that most Socialist voters cast ballots for the "no" that Fabius had urged.
		Socialist lawmaker Jean-Luc Melenchon, who like Fabius opposed the constitution, called for the resignation of the entire party leadership — though he acknowledged that was unlikely.

		Socialists of the Center (Kautskyites, Longuetists) repeat these accusations in a somewhat weaker and diluted form; they seek to cut to the quick the national feelings of the workers in various countries by arousing their suspicions that someone is trying to dictate to them “from outside.”
		During the war the conduct of the leaders of the French Socialist Party was not an iota superior to the conduct of the most stereotyped German social-traitors.
		The Independent Party of Germany, opposed as an organization to the patriotic Social Democracy, is compelled to conduct an open ideological and political struggle against the latter in the press and at public meetings; and thereby despite the super-opportunist character of its newspapers and leaders it is aiding in the revolutionization of the working masses.

		Their objective was "not to change the face of Europe, but change to the status quo within the Socialist party", Mr Jospin said.

		Eyewitnesses said the incident came after the protesters marched from an anti-G8 campsite near the French town of Annemasse on the Swiss border to blockade a building where French Socialist Party activists were meeting.
		The anarchists began setting up barricades but French riot police moved in, firing volleys of teargas to push them back to the campsite at Annemasse airfield, where earlier in the day protesters were instructed in passive resistance techniques.
		Much like New Labour in Britain, the Socialist Party in France has more in common with the G8 leaders in Evian than with those of us who want to expose the effects of their policies.

	EU Supporters Relieved As French Socialists Vote Yes
		EU supporters heaved a sigh of relief yesterday after the French Socialist party said 59% of its members had backed the union's new constitution, significantly improving its chances of ratification in France's national referendum next year.
		François Hollande, the French Socialist leader, said nearly 80% of party members had turned out to vote and the result was "a victory for Europe, for democracy and for the French Socialist party".
		The Socialists' no camp, headed by the former prime minister Laurent Fabius, had argued that the treaty, seen as essential to the smooth running of the expanded 25-member union, failed to promote what it called a "social Europe" of workers' and welfare rights.

	Why War? EuroFighters (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The former French prime minister Laurent Fabius says his Socialist party should vote against the EU constitution today as a matter of straightforward principle.
		But the most dramatic consequences of the Socialists' referendum could well be reserved for the party itself, which - amid violent accusations of disloyalty, selfishness and even treachery - has been tearing itself in two over the issue since September.
		As more or less the only remaining presidential hopeful from the immediate entourage of François Mitterrand, the late Socialist president who appointed him his financial adviser as early as 1975, the highly ambitious Mr Fabius knows the next elections, in 2007, will probably be his last realistic chance for a run at the Elysée palace.
