The concluding part o 14 part series on the which celebrates its 50 this yeal WHILE defining the Gaullist regime as "per- sonal power in the service of monopolies' the Com- munist Party held fast to parliamentary road policy and in practice played the role of a loyal opposition. Its politics were still cen- tred on electoral manoeuvres.

It strongly opposed any coalition of opposition groups which excluded it, as Deferre sought to do in 1965. aim was an Its main electoral understanding with the Socialist Party and the left bourgeois groups (such as that of Mitterand) of the sort concluded in December, 1966.

The priority given to these electoral calculations is a con- stant factor in its activity be- tween 1964 and 1968. What the Party leadership an alternative proposed was government, within the frame- work of existing institutions, to bring about what was as an 'advanced described democracy'. This required cautious man- oeuvring to neutralize those elements in the Socialist and other parties which were more strongly anti-Communist than they were anti-Gaullist. While it was necessary to a base in the working have class in order to bargain, the had at all costs to be class kept in leash. The Party's electoral calculations imposed an opportunist course in in- dustry and a policy of moder- ation to placate the fears of the middle class. During the mid-1960s de Gaulle's foreign policy veered from the Americans away when, in order to strengthen France's bargaining position, he began to seek an agreement with the Soviet Union and the countries of E Europe: The Soviet bureaucracy did all it could to encourage such Indeed, at times, it a turn. expressed its approval more openly than the French Party liked. For example, during the 1966 campaign, presidential when the party backed Mitter- and, Tass put out a statement which encouraged electors to vote for de Gaulle! The Party complained. Not long afterwards, at the 23rd Congress of the CPSU, a refer- ence to the General in Wal- deck Rochet's speech produced unanimous (and for him pro- bably embarrassing) applause from the assembled delegates from the world's Communist Parties. Undoubtedly this was going too far. The Party could not ignore the growing hostility of the working class to Gaullism, which sharpened considerably cutting after the ordinances back on social security in August 1967. Moreover, many militants were uneasy at the Party's manoeuvres and the tacit support it offered to de Gaulle's bid to play an 'in- dependent' role in world affairs. This attempt proved to be short-lived, connected as it with the temporary was strength of the Franc in rela- tion to the dollar which did not outlive the May-June 1968 • events. But there is no doubt that it had the approval of the Soviet bureaucracy and that the Party adapted its policy to the requirements of the Kremlin. ( As a bourgeois commen- tator put it in 1965: 'In parliament communists and Gaullists sometimes vote together against the rest, or sit silent while others cheer an attack on the General's foreign policy-which the Party frequently praises'. Party organs pointed to the 'positive aspects' of de Gaulle's continuing diplomacy while their verbal criticisms of the regime itself. When the General Election took place in March 1967 the Party again showed its elec- toral vitality. Thanks to its electoral agreement with the Left Federation it was able to increase its representation from 41 to 73 seats. But, although it had won back over a million votes compared with 1962 and had 22.5 per cent of the votes cast it was still half a million votes short of its 1956 peak. Until 1968, therefore, the Party leaders could take com- fort that their aims were being achieved. They appeared to have begun to break out of the political ghetto and become an acceptable partner once again for the SFIO and left bourgeois parties. De Gaulle seemed to be set on a course which gave plea- tes its 50th anniversary this year. sure in the Kremlin and made him a popular figure in Europe. The long run up to a 're- democracy' novated seemed to have begun in which a new version of tripartism would ultimately take over from Gaullism, if only nobody rocked the boat. Although the Party had been severely shaken by the crisis in the world communist movement after 1956 and had lost some members as a result of the Sino-Soviet split, its remained intact: apparatus there was no split in the lead- ership and it could still count on the support of a substantial majority of the working class.

this 'support What did amount to? It was demonstra- and national in local ted elections and in representation on factory committees rather than in the Party's ability to control the class. Membership of the CGT had fallen well below its peaks of 1936-1937 and 1945-1947. Betrayals Hostility to the Party's past betrayals and to Stalinism was an important factor. 'Anti- communism'—a different thing -motivated the leadership of the rival unions and found an echo in backward sections of the working class as a result of the Cold • War propaganda. Essentially, the split in the working class and the relative weakness of the trade union movement as a whole was the responsibility of Stalinism and its policy since the 1930s. It was the CP's record of decep- tion and betrayal, its defence of every aspect of Stalinist policy, the tactics and methods of its apparatus which per- petuated divisions in the work- ing class and succoured the reformists of Force Ouvrière and prolonged the life of anarcho-syndicalist traits in the class. At the same time the Party had established itself as a tra- ditional representative of the working class. It still carried it the prestige of the with October Revolution and the Red Army; it was thus able to attract many workers and youth looking for a revolution- ary party. The February 1 AJS rally attended by 10, of Stalinism and prepare the French workir By its apparent militancy, and by the hostility which it drew from the bourgeoisie and the reformists, it was able to maintain its support. But the turnover of membership was high and it was ageing per- ceptibly. It was and is the main Party but not the only Party. It still had to face competition from the SFIO, which retained the allegiance sections of workers, especially in the northern coalfields and some of the industrial areas and big cities. However, the CP was much more highly disciplined and organized, much more of a backed by devoted power militants. The Socialist Party had for long been in decline and crisis. It had shifted far to the right and its leadership practised complete opportun- ism and a sterile anti-com- munism. Support Thus, despite the fact that the SFIO retained some work- ing-class and that support many workers remained out- side the CP. or had left it, for sound political reasons, the party's hold on the working class remained a major block to building the revolutionary party in France. The struggle against Stalin- ism and to break its best militants as well as the work- ing-class supporters away from the CP remained a basic task.

This was to be demonstra- ted with great force during the events of 1968. May-June During the early stages of the student struggle against the government's attack on univer- sity education the party stood aside. It was a diversion from its political game of winning allies and building a broad coalition which had shown some fruits in the presidential elections of 1965 when, on the second ballot, Mitterand had secured 45 per cent of the votes. Its attitude towards the student revolt remained for a long time extremely hostile. The students were described 'sons of bourgeois' and as attended by 10,000 youth signifies the beginning of e French working class for the taking of power.

Strike This was published on May 3 and the same line was pur- sued for several days longer.

It was only during the night 10 and ll when of May, was obvious that the crisis could not be confined to the faculties, that the CP and the CGT had to agree to calling a strike and mass demonstration in Paris and other towns for the following Monday, May 13.

This was a response to the growing support for the students from the working class as they had to meet the full panopoly of police repres- sion on the streets of Paris.

It hoped thereby to permit the indignation at the police and the state to express itself, while _preventing • the move- ment from spreading into the working class and running out of control.

To justify its position it had to maintain then and later that there never was a revolution- ary situation and even that it working had prevented the class from falling into a trap set by the government. Communist apologists base themselves on the fact that the strikers were mainly in- terested in immediate demands -as though there was no difference between such de- mands when presented by the class in unison and similar demands put forward factory by factory or on an industry- wide basis. The dimensions of the strike and the occupation of places of work, as well as the econo- mic demands themselves, represented a direct challenge to the state as well as to the employers. In other words the question of power was neces- sarily raised.

As the 50th anniversary of the foundation of the Party at Tours in December 1920 draws near we can expect the usual flood of distortion about the Party's past. It is clear from preceding articles that the early attempts by the Communist Interna- tional, and especially by Trot- establish a sky, to party of a Bolshevik type in France after Tours, while making some progress, were soon overcome by the degeneration of the International itself. What emerged from the pro- called 'Bolshe- cess wrongly was a docile instru- vization' ment of Moscow which was later endowed with hand- picked leadership headed by Maurice Thorez. Thorez accepted Stalin as his mentor and built the Party into a powertul political force in France, but one noted for its unswering fidelity to the needs of Moscow. If the writings published at the time of the 40th anni- versary are any guide we can- not expect that Party histori- ans will deal at all faithfully with its past.

For a Stalinist, this is the beginning and end of all poli- tical wisdom. In fact the Stalinists have now become one of the main props of the regime--some- thing which helps to explain Castro's statements in support of General Velasco.

It is in keeping with the long-established traditions of the British Stalinist press that the columns of the "Morning Star' should be used for such a reactionary and anti-working- class conspiracy.
