Manifesto of the Front de libération du Québec: Difference between revisions

The money powers of the status quo, the majority of the traditional tutors of our people, have obtained from the voters the reaction they hoped for, a step backwards rather than the changes we have worked for as never before, the changes we will continue to work for. -- [[René Lévesque]], April 29, 1970

Once, we believed it worthwhile to channel our energy and our impatience, in the apt words of René Lévesque, into the [[Parti Québécois]], but the Liberal victory shows that what is called democracy in Quebec has always been, and still is, nothing but the "democracy" of the rich. In this sense the victory of the [[Liberal party]] is in fact nothing but the victory of the [[Simard-Cotroni]] election-fixers. Consequently, we wash our hands of the [[British parliamentary system]]; the Front de Libération du Québec will never let itself be distracted by the electoral crumbs that the [[Anglo-Saxon]] [[capitalist]]s toss into the Quebec barnyard every four years. Many Quebeckers have realized the truth and are ready to take action. In the coming year Bourassa is going to get what's coming to him: 100,000 revolutionary workers, armed and organized!
