	France: Popular front opens the door to fascist reaction
		“Popular fronts” of reformist workers parties with small bourgeois “left” formations such as the Greens and Left Radicals bind the workers and oppressed to their class enemy.
		This is the history of a century of popular frontism, from Millerand at the beginning of the 1900s to Mitterrand and Jospin at the end.
		Far from blocking the fascists, the popular front serves as a roadblock to revolution, and thus prepares the way for the victory of capitalist reaction.

	Popular Front (France) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Popular Front was an alliance of left-wing political parties (the Communists, the Socialists and the Radicals), which was in government in France from 1936 to 1938.
		The Communist leader Maurice Thorez was the first to call for the formation of a "popular front", first in the Communist newspaper L'Humanité and subsequently in the Chamber of Deputies.
		The first Popular Front cabinet consisted of twenty Socialists, thirteen Radicals and two Socialist Republicans (there were no Communist Ministers) and, for the first time, included three women (women were not able to vote in France at that time).

	P. Pouliopoulos: The Popular Fronts and Proletarian Policy
		On the contrary the Popular Front is a political coalition for general aims which predetermines that the workers party abandons the independent aims of the working class and it subjected the general aims of the bourgeois class in the name of bourgeois democracy.
		As the Popular Front helps the working class abandon its own independent programme and its independent class leadership, it leaves the middle classes a useful prey in the unriddled social demagoguery of the fascists and thus it must allow in fascism to have a mass base which is necessary to rise to power.
		Popular Front equals a Bourgeois Governing Coalition A concrete measure of the policy of the Popular Front is the creation of bourgeois coalition governments, where worker leaders alongside the bourgeoisie are to be found, have behind them the General Councils and all the mechanism of the bourgeois state.

	Weekly Worker 573 - Thursday April 21 2005
		‘Popular fronts’ (a term introduced by the 7th Congress of the Stalinised Comintern in 1935) are programmatic blocs, usually for governmental power, between workers’ organisations and representatives of the bourgeoisie.
		As a multi-class political alliance, the popular front is ostensibly based on the ‘common interests’ of the workers’ movement and a section of the capitalists.
		For it is often forgotten that the greatest historical example of the popular front is the February 1917 revolution” (L Trotsky, ‘The POUM and the popular front’, July 16 1936).

		Indeed, the classical examples of popular fronts and their consequences are dealt with at length in the writings of Leon Trotsky from the 1930s, regarding particularly France and Spain in 1936 and later.
		The popular front suppressed the workers revolution in favour of 'democratic' capitalism, in a situation where the whole of the capitalist class supported fascism and the need to smash the workers organisations.
		Given the dominance of Popular Frontism of one sort or another in many countries where the Spartacists were seeking to establish toeholds internationally in the 1970s, this position had an enormous influence on the development of the Spartacists, who confronted it at every step, and therefore their political deviation became more and more systematised.

	Glossary of Terms: Po
		The Popular Front or “Peoples Front” was a right wing response by the Communist International to the failures of the so-called “Third Period” (1928-1935), during which the Comintern embarked on an insurrectionary and ultra-left response to the world-wide capitalist depression (in the Comintern’s eyes, the “Third Period” of capitalist decline).
		The ultimate failure of the Popular Fronts of the 1930s did not, however, mean the ending of the policies of the Popular Fronts.
		Thus Rousseau advocated popular insurrection as the means of combating the growing inequality of eighteenth century France, and the establishment of a “Social Contract” to enforce egalitarianism.

		The strikes were represented in the press as both revolutionary events and joyous festivals, yet it is the festive image of the strikes which has persisted in most accounts of the Popular Front.
		However, this essay argues that this festive imagery emerged by the evolving relationship between the strikers and the workers' organizations, and the festive imagery only appeared as the workers' organizations progressively gained control of the strike movement and attempted to curb it.
		These are scenes of the strikes of 1936 which greeted the first Popular Front government in France; strikes which have most often been portrayed as a series of festivals.
