The Workers' Communist Party of France (French: Parti communiste des ouvriers de France, PCOF) is a political party of France. The party publishes the monthly newspaper La Forge[1] and is an active participant in the International Conference of Marxist–Leninist Parties and Organizations.

History

[edit]

The PCOF was established on 18 March 1979, on the anniversary of Paris Commune, after a split in the Strasbourg section of the Maoist Marxist–Leninist Communist Party of France [fr] (PCMLF). During the Cold War, the PCOF supported the political line of the Party of Labour of Albania. From October 2011 to March 2016, the party was a member of the Front de Gauche.
