Maybe Kanaky (New Caledonia), although it's not clear how active the communists are in the current uprising. Thought I saw something about communists being active there, but can't find it anymore.

EDIT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanak_and_Socialist_National_Liberation_Front, NVM this is the pro-independence opposition party, but sadly they seem to be socdem instead

Do things in Kanaky look like they can gain independence currently, without foreign assistance though?

I wish them the best, but I suspect their circumstances- as a small island chain in the Pacific, near Australia and NZ, and in the context of France scrambling to save face in the wake of losing several of its west African neocolonies, things likely won't go well at the moment.
