Abstract: This article shows how the French Socialist Party's political practice, economic policies and socialist vision have been shaped by the Party's formulation and use of class concepts. It offers a Marxist critique of the Socialists' power-based understanding of class and shows how this allowed for economic policies to promote capitalist growth rather than transform the nature of class exploitation.
