Guesde (1845-1922) introduced Marxism to France and contributed to building the Socialist Party in the north of the country, where the left, socialism, and then later communism became very strong. He fought in solidarity with the Paris Commune of 1871, met Karl Marx to write the programme of the French Workers Party in 1880, went into exile, frequented the most famous leaders of international socialism (Jean Jaurès, Filippo Turati, Wilhelm Liebknecht,...) and finally became Minister of the French Republic in 1914. Few leftists have gone through such a long political life.
