The French Communist Party headquarters in Paris designed by Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer.
"The architect had abandoned his country but not his lifelong political principles: In a show of solidarity, Niemeyer worked on the project for free. But his Marxist-Leninist sympathies were not limitless. "On the politics, I'm with you, but your architecture is awful."
"I am attracted to free-flowing, sensual curves," he wrote in his memoirs. "The curves that I find in the mountains of my country, in the sinuousness of its rivers, in the waves of the ocean, and on the body of the beloved woman."
Ho Chi Minh wasn't just a member, he co-founded it didn't he?
Tmw you co-found a party, only to dismiss them as a lost cause because they wouldn’t budge on their colonialist and social chauvinist positions
