Jean Baby (French: [ɡeʁɛ̃]; 4 August 1897, in Toulouse – 9 January 1969, in Paris) was a French historian and politician.
Early life and politics[edit]
Graduated in History and Geography in 1923, he taught in the 1920s in high school in Prague, Lorient and Toulouse. He was an activist in the French Communist Party (PCF), which he joined in 1925, as well as the Unitary Federation of Education and the Confédération générale du travail unitaire (CGTU).
He was a candidate against Vincent Auriol, in the district of Muret, during the legislative elections of 1928. He led the communist list in the municipal elections of 1929 in Toulouse.
Expelled from the PCF in November 1929, he was reinstated in October 1931.
After the Second World War, he was a teacher at the Lycée Jacques-Decour in Paris. Considered one of the PCF's economists,[1] in 1954 he became editor-in-chief of the review Économie et Politique edited by Jean Pronteau.
His criticism of French Communist Party policies[2] led to his final exclusion in April 1960. He then turned to Maoism. In same year, he was one of the first signatories of the Manifesto of the 121 on the right to insubordination in the Algerian war.[3]
