It's one thing to part company with the PCF; it's entirely another
thing to ditch Marxist theory. The Marxist tradition -- to which
you, too, belong -- is far larger than the CP tradition & quite
heterogeneous.
Besides, I think Foucault's main theoretical target was Sartre who
never became a Party member (or rather the kind of humanism
represented by Sartre).

P.S. I don't know if a lot of intellectuals within the PCF were
bores. They may have been, but the only ones whose works I know well
are Louis Althusser, Albert Mathiez, Georges Lefebvre, & Albert
Saboul. You may disagree with their views, but they aren't boring in
my opinion.
