The Mouvement socialiste was a left-wing political party in the Canadian province of Quebec. Formed in 1981, it ran candidates in the 1985 and 1989 provincial elections. ==Origins== The Mouvement socialiste emerged from discussions among six prominent Quebec academics and unionists: Yvon Charbonneau, Marcel Pepin, Raymond Laliberté, Albert Dubuc, Jacques Dofny, and Lucie Dagenais. After meeting for a year, they launched the Comité des Cent in 1979. This group, described as an alliance of "trade unionists and reformist academics,"〔Sébastien Bouchard and Bernard Rioux, "The Quebec left: then and now", ''Canadian Dimension'', 1 July 2002, p. 26.〕 produced the new party's manifesto in 1981.〔William Johnson, "An impossible blueprint for a better world", ''Globe and Mail'', 30 October 1981, 8.〕 The Mouvement socialiste was committed to feminism and ecology and supported Quebec sovereignty as a means of promoting socialism.〔"Quebeckers get socialist alternative", 13 May 1985, p. 3.〕 Because of its opposition to Maoist entrist tactics, its members chose not to work inside social movements.〔Sébastien Bouchard and Bernard Rioux, "The Quebec left: then and now", ''Canadian Dimension'', 1 July 2002, p. 26.〕 Yvon Charbonneau resigned from the party in 1982, after being elected as the leader of the Quebec teachers' union. He argued that union leadership was incompatible with membership in a political party. In a 1983 interview, however, he said that the Mouvement socialiste still represented his beliefs.〔Margot Gibb-Clark, "Politics as the art of no compromise", ''Globe and Mail'', 21 March 1983, 8.〕 In later years, he would shift toward the political centre. Members of the Trotskyist group ''Combat socialiste'' were briefly affiliated with the Mouvement socialiste in the early 1980s. They left in 1983 to form the Gauche Socialiste group.〔(François Moreau, Balance Sheet of the Quebec Far Left ), 1986, stored by the Socialist History Project.〕 In 1984, Mouvement socialist president Marcel Pépin joined a coalition of Quebec nationalists in a bid to renew the sovereigntist movement. This followed Quebec Premier René Lévesque decision that the Parti Québécois would downplay Quebec independence.〔"Nationalists create coalition to press Quebec sovereignty", ''Globe and Mail'', 4 December 1984, 9.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mouvement socialiste (Canada)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
