history
The party was represented by Fu'ad al-Shimali at the 6th Congress of the Communist International in 1928. Under the French mandate over Syria it was initially an underground organization, from 1936 to 1939 it was legal under the French Popular Front government , after a brief period of illegality again in 1941. The party decided in 1936 to cooperate with the nationalist movement and to postpone its own socialist issues. This was in line with the 7th Congress of the Communist International in 1935.
The party was later divided into the Syrian Communist Party and the Lebanese Communist Party , but this decision, made in late 1943, was not implemented until 1964. Until then there was still a joint Central Committee and Politburo. The successor to the party in Syria split in 1986 into the Bakdash faction and the Syrian Communist Party - United under Yusuf Faisal . The Party of the People's Will , which split off from the Bakdasch faction in 2012, is also an indirect successor.
