    From what I've gathered so far:

    Because of the tri-color flag's history as the main popular symbol of the French revolution, then as one of the symbols of the Paris Commune, then as one of the symbols of the French resistance against Nazi occupation, the tri-color flag is before all a symbol made and used by the people and it's use by the diverse bourgeois governments of France is illegitimate.

    The PRCF also look up to the revolutionaries of the French revolution like Roberts Pierre because TL;DR: Roberts Pierre was actually kinda based for a lib and the narrative of the Terror and him being a psychopath who cut peoples heads for no reasons is mostly lies created by his political opponents after his death and reproduced until the present day by bourgeois scared that the legacy of past revolutionaries might give peoples the "wrong idea".

    This is basically why they use the tri-color flag I think.

    On decolonization I need to learn more about their position but I at least know that they support the recent New-caledonians/Kanaks riot and blame Macron for the violence, and that they support the right of Kanaky to claim it's independence. And they also oppose the Israel.
