Eurocommunism constitutes a "moment" of great transformation
connecting the past and the present of the European Left, a
political project by means of which left-wing politics in Europe
effected a definitive transition to a thoroughly different
paradigm. It rose in the wake of 1968 - that pivotal year of social
revolt and rethinking that caused a divide between radical,
progressive and socialist thinking in western and southern Europe
and the Soviet model. Communist parties in Italy, France, Spain and
Greece changed tack, drew on the dynamics of social radicalism of
the time and came to be associated with political moderation,
liberal democracy and negotiation rather than contentious politics
forging a movement that would hold influence until the early 1980s.
Eurocommunism thus wove an original political synthesis delineated
against both the revolutionary Left and the social democracy:
"party of struggle and party of governance".
