French Workers' Party
From 1880, he again worked as editor of the French socialist newspaper "". During that same year, and in that publication, Lafargue began publishing the first draft of "The Right to Be Lazy". In 1882, he started working in an insurance company, which allowed him to relocate back to Paris and become more involved with French socialist politics. Together with Jules Guesde and Gabriel Deville, he began directing the activities of the newly initiated French Workers' Party ("Parti Ouvrier Français"; POF), which he caused to conflict with other major left-wing trends: anarchism, as well as the "Jacobin" Radicals and Blanquists.
