Well, maybe not officially Stalinist(in the sense of worshipping Uncle Joe himself), but more in line with the standard goals of mainstream, specifically Soviet-influenced, Marxism.
OTL, the French Communist Party kept its distance from the events of May 68, at least partly(I have read) because Moscow didn't want to undermine the relatively anti-NATO De Gaulle. And, maybe because of this(or maybe not), the movement is generally remembered for its strong infusion of playful, quasi-anarchistic theatrics and llibidinal outpourings.
But what happens if the PCF lumbers into the movement, and tries to steer it in a more traditional direction(possibly with more focus on goals dovetailing those of the USSR)? Are they viewed as a bunch of authoritarian has-beens trying to hijack the idealism of youth? Or are they able to craft it more into their own image of what a leftist uprising should be?
