when a majority of members resigned from the socialist <a href="/wiki/French_Section_of_the_Workers%27_International" title="French Section of the Workers' International">French Section of the Workers' International</a> (SFIO) party to set up the <b>French Section of the Communist International</b> (SFIC) with <a href="/wiki/Ludovic-Oscar_Frossard" title="Ludovic-Oscar

participating in its creation.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The new SFIC defined itself as <a href="/wiki/Revolution" title="Revolution">revolutionary</a> and <a href="/wiki/Democratic_centralism" title="Democratic centralism">democratic centralist</a>. The 1920s saw a number of splits within the party over relations with other left-wing parties and over adherence to <a href="/wiki/Comintern" class="mw-redirect" title="Comintern">Comintern</a>'s dictates. The party entered the <a href="/wiki/Chamber_of_Deputies_(France)" title="Chamber of Deputies (France)">French parliament</a>, but also promoted strike action and opposed <a href="/wiki/Colonialism" title="Colonialism">colonialism</a>, a position that was isolated in the French political landscape at the time. The Intercolonial Union, created in 1922, brought together activists from the French colonies around demands for political equality (the right to vote) and social equality ("equal pay for equal work"). The communists thus called for fraternization with the Moroccan insurgents during the <a href="/wiki/Rif_War" title="Rif War">Rif War</a> (1925–1926) and to the evacuation of Morocco by the French army, they called for an end to the fighting and the independence of French Syria during the <a href="/wiki/Great_Syrian_Revolt" title="Great Syrian Revolt">Great Syrian Revolt</a> of 1925–1927, and denounced the festivities of the centenary of the colonization of Algeria, organizing in particular a campaign to boycott the <a href="/wiki/Paris_Colonial_Exposition" title="Paris Colonial Exposition">Paris Colonial Exposition</a> (1931).<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The party was organized around leaders who were mostly from the working class, setting up training and promotion schemes and encouraging the presentation of working-class candidates in elections.
