TheCommunist Revolutionary Party of France (French:Parti communiste révolutionnaire de France, abbreviatedPCRF) is ananti-revisionistMarxist-Leninistcommunist party founded in 2016.[2] It was the result of a merger ofIntervention Communiste and theUnion Révolutionaire Communistes de France (URCF).
Initially in 1991, theCoordination Communiste pour la Continuité Révolutionnaire et la Renaissance Léniniste du PCF (CC) was established as an internal faction of theParti Communiste Français (PCF) by the party's orthodox Marxists-Leninists members. In 1994, its press organ namedIntervention Communiste (IC) was launched. At the faction's 4th national conference, a minority group led byGeorges Gastaud split and established theCoordination des Militants Communistes du PCF pour sa Continuité Révolutionnaire et sa Renaissance Léniniste (CMC) staying in thePCF, which would eventually become thePôle de renaissance communiste en France (PRCF).
The majority left thePCF and established theCoordination Communiste pour la Reconstruction d'un Parti Communiste Révolutionnaire (CC) led byJean-Luc Sallé andMaurice Cukierman, which would eventually form theUnion Révolutionaire Communistes de France in 2004.
Maurice Cukierman died on 24 July 2020.[3][4] On 29 August thecentral committee unanimously elected Pierre Komorov (PK) as the new secretary-general, and Emmanuelle Kraemer as deputy secretary-general.[5]
The PCRF is ananti-revisionistcommunist party and upholds the legacy of theSoviet Union as asocialist country until thePerestroika period duringMikhail Gorbachev’s leadership. It considers the policy initiated byNikita Khrushchev’s leadership as degenerative and a step back from a socialist system to acapitalist one, a process which continued untilMikhail Gorbachev’s leadership, during which thecapitalist regime was restored after the1985-1991 counter-revolution. The PCRF recognizes the states ofCuba and theDPRK as the only examples of countries that buildsocialism at the moment, however, the party is not supportive ofChina, which it views as an emergingimperialistpower.The PCRF supports self-determination ofKanaky[6] andCorsica.[7]
