Europe has been under the heel of reactionaries for decades. The past thirty years it was unchallenged at all, while the reactionaries had done everything to undermine, disrupt and uproot any ML or ML adjacent movement and organisation. Where would France obtain a principled ML party?
Personally I think it’s because 1 - The PCF have never correctly identified the primary contradiction in the imperial core that is colonialism 2 - Relied too heavily on Soviet worshipping for external propaganda making them extremely vulnerable to the bourgeois press revisionism and lies 3 - didn’t embrace progressive movements like feminism and adopted a reactionary stance that made the ultras and pseudo-Marxists (Maoists, Trots, French School, Frankfurt School) very popular during the uprisings of 1968
Omg fuck those stupid westerners then. Why tf doesn’t France have a principled ML party???

They allowed the CIA to co-opt the ‘French intellectual’.
