Eurocommunism
"A spectre is haunting Europe; the spectre of Communism."
Eurocommunism, also referred to as Democratic Communism or Neocommunism, is a revisionist ideology in the 1970s and 1980s within various Western European communist parties which said they had developed a theory and practice of social transformation more relevant for Western Europe.
History
The invasion of 
Czechoslovakia by the Warsaw Pact has disillusioned many Communist parties in the Western world. The result was the break from 
Soviet orthodoxy and greater commitment to 
liberal democracy in those parties. 
Eurocommunism was the most prominent in 
Italy, 
Spain, and 
France.
The ascendancy of Enrico Berlinguer during the 70s helped the 
Italian Communist Party (PCI) gain many more seats in the national and local elections. With those gains, he negotiated a Historic Compromise with Aldo Moro, a very popular Prime Minister in the Christian Democracy (DC.) According to Berlinguer, the fall of democracy in 
Chile necessitates the cooperation between the 
Marxists and the more moderate factions. With the support of DC, they would then pursue many social reforms and condemn many terrorist groups during the Years of Lead. The Compromise would continue until 1980.
Personality and Behaviour
Let's just say that he is a very nice guy but hates 
capitalists.
