Abstract

Leo Weiczen followed a complex political itinerary, from his
early years as an orthodox Communist, to his phase as a “Democratic
Communist” (linked to the Que faire? secret faction in the French
Communist Party in the mid-1930s), and finally to his shift to a position
of Revolutionary Democrat, which gradually emerged during the Second
World War. This outline is based on currently available research (together with some neglected material). The aim is to contextualize Valiani’s choices in the history of interwar Communist, Socialist and Revolutionary Democratic movements.
