Ah yes, the famous French communist leaders of the post-war era: De Gaulle, Pompidou, d'Estaing...

  De Gaulle had to strike a deal with the communists. They may not have been at the very top of the power, but they certainly were in governments.

    What are you talking about? The only time France had communists in government was in 1981..

      Nope. http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gouvernement_provisoire_de_la_R%C3%A9publique_fran%C3%A7aise http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gouvernement_provisoire_de_la_R... Also the PCF had 27% of the seats in the Assemblee Constituante of the 4th republic.
