Popular fronts, on the other hand, are typically a desperate measure that is adopted in times of crisis - such as when there is a real danger of a fascist party coming to power.
On March 18, 1933, the executive committee of the Comintern declared the adoption of a United Front policy.

Such a front existed between de Gaulle and the French Communist Party from 1945 until the communists were permanently expelled from government in 1949.
The front gave absolute priority to the cause of Egyptian revival, instead of allowing factionalism to disrupt and dissipate collective efforts, as has been continually the case in the second half of the 20th century.
It is important, too, to extend this process across the five continents, especially to the eastern civilisational circle, where more than two-thirds of the world's inhabitants live, with whom we have no history of acrimony, but rather, on the contrary, a legacy of friendship and convergence over many vital concerns and interests.

This is the essence of the united front in the traditional Marxist sense.
One quotation from the Fourth Congress summarises this nicely: "The united front tactic is simply an initiative whereby the Communists propose to join with all workers belonging to other parties and groups and all unaligned workers in a common struggle to defend the immediate basic needs of the working class against the bourgeoisie".
But it is important to note that united fronts cannot be unilaterally declared by one group: they have to be a genuine coming together of different forces with specific, clear political objectives.

Since then, the United States has ratcheted up the pressure on Damascus over its alleged role in the assassination and increasingly turned the screws on arch-foe Tehran for its alleged efforts to develop nuclear weapons.
The White House said that Iran and Syria were "misreading" the international community if their vow to form a united front against foreign threats was aimed at the United States.
The United States has since hinted at possible military action against Iran over its nuclear activities -- a standoff that the European Union is trying to defuse through frantic negotiations with Iranian officials.

 United front
The united front thus had two aspects: (1) it united revolutionaries and reformists in a common struggle around issues of concern to the working class as a whole; and (2) it involved a struggle for political influence over the masses between revolutionaries and reformists.
As we have seen, united fronts have classically performed a double function: (1) to create the maximum possible unity in action around relevant issues; and (2) to increase the influence of revolutionary politics and organisation.
They either abstain from united activity or (which amounts to the same thing) use it as a vehicle for denouncing everyone else or they involve themselves so deeply in a particular movement that their own distinctively revolutionary profile disappears.
