Résumé
The middle classes seen by the PCF and the PSU (1962-1968), Patrick Massa. The economic and political conjuncture of the 1960s explains the interest parties of the left for the middle classes. But since Marxist theory pays little attention to these categories which belong to both labor and capital, the thinking about the new working class implied some intellectual gymnastics and a degree of concealment. There appeared thus the concepts of " class front " and " union of the people of France ". These concepts were not sufficient to draw together durably the salaried middle strata which could hardly accept the hegemony of the working class in the daily struggle and in the analysis of the society in which they lived.
