== History ==
Pierre Biétry left the French Workers' Party in 1900, believing that socialism had failed in improving workers' conditions. He created yellow socialism and founded the National Federation of Yellows of France (FNJF), advocating for cooperation between unions and businesses. Over time, Biétry adopted racism and anti-semitic tendencies into the party, affiliating it with French [[File:React.png]] [[Reactionary|reactionaries]]. The party slowly dismantled after its last meeting in 1909, and Biétry died in 1918.
Followers of Marx adopted the "yellow socialist" label to describe socialists who they thought were supporting the ruling class. This included ideologies known in the modern day as [[File:Socdem.png]] [[Social Democracy|social democracy]] or [[File:Dsa.png]] [[Democratic Socialism|democratic socialism]]. Because of its misuse, the term has been confused with very different ideologies and was ultimately abandoned after World War I.
