So, during the Cold War in Quebec was founded the Front de liberation du Quebec, apparently a marxist movement who did 300 bomb attacks and 2 kidnapping. No idea what to think honestly
>marxist movement to liberate Quebec
See, this is why you cant tolerate nationalism within communism, otherwise you end up with shit like this.
Thanks to them, Quebec now has completely nationalized energy production and grid that also runs on 99% Green energy.
>>2678975I mean, anticolonial struggle is a thing, it is to define if Quebec is a colony tho
>>2679056I can answer that question for you: No.
Too much Anglo supremacy in this thread.
>>2678965>marxist movement who did 300 bomb attacks and 2 kidnapping.that sounds like a narodnik/terrorist movement, not like a marxist movement
has anyone here actually read lenin?
>>2679094Most Marxists have not, no.
>>2679056>it is to define if Quebec is a colony thoIt isn't. Quebec is the Scotland of North America. They bitch and moan about Anglo oppression while enthusiastically participating in and benefitting from Canadian colonialism and imperialism. Meanwhile they're one of the most thoroughly developed and industrialized regions in the country, have produced multiple important and influential prime ministers (including the two that wrote our constitution), are wealthier than several Anglo provinces, and are so politically important that even parties which only run in Quebec can still become the main opposition in parliament. Ontario and Quebec are like the two suns around which the rest of the country revolves.
>>2679277You bet, now it came to my thoughts, how this sentiment started in the first place, why was a "liberation front" born in Quebec who called itself communist and was trained nevertheless by the PLO.
>>2679559There were some legitimate grievances in the past regarding issues like language rights, but after a series of reforms in the 60s and 70s they're now the only province that isn't required to support bilingualism and are allowed to do everything in French.
FLQ was a glowie op like the Italian Years of Lead. The intent was to make Quebec separatism look retarded, and also to test how easy it was for the bourgeois Canadian government to suspend all "civil liberties" and to immediately move to martial law.
>>2679633Was Epstein quebecois?
>>2679639>the intent was to make Quebec separatism look retardedso it's not retarded itself?
Retarded adventurism
>>2679755the socialist ou barbarie has spoken everybody hide rn
Also produced the best book title ever.
>>2679751It isn't retarded at all and are valid to want to seperate. But without Quebec, Canada as a state is done and will collapse, so dedicated Anglo Canadians hate Quebec and believe independence is selfish despite never signing up to be part of the Anglo crown
>>2680336>It isn't retarded at all and are valid to want to seperate.Can you explain further?
>despite never signing up to be part of the Anglo crownCan't canadians unify in their desire of letting the Crown down instead of advocating by stupid ass nationalist principles
>>2679639There was no such thing as Quebec separatism before the flq. They kick-started it. This is getting things wrong.
>>2679639sources? I can totally believe it because those were the golden years for GLADIO ops.
>>2681340U sure? That would've mean that De Gaulle implicitly supported the flq
>>2680336>but without Quebec, Canada as a state is done and will collapseHow do you figure that this would cause the collapse of anglo Canada but allow Quebec to be a self-sustaining nation? Especially when you consider that the Indigenous population who have land rights to much of the province outside the St. Lawrence strip emphatically opposed independence and declared their intention to secede from Quebec and rejoin Canada. Would these brave champions of national self-determination allow such a thing?
>so dedicated Anglo Canadians hate Quebec and believe independence is selfish despite never signing up to be part of the Anglo crownAww, did one clique of colonizers get beaten by another? What a tragedy. Won't somebody think of the poor Ancien Regime and its imperial interests?
Quebec is a pretty cool place
The group OP mentions was a pretty solid armed movement, and im surprised people don't talk about leftist politics in Quebec, its interesting.
Don't forget the cat guy ITT is a butthurt Anglo-Canadian.
Cuba had no problem showing their solidarity with the FLQ.
>>2696661Exactly you can see the seethe in the posts. Quebec will inevitably be liberated
>>2696661Why would I be butthurt? I'm just relating the facts about it. It was a stupid, hypocritical movement that failed because it wasn't a genuine national liberation struggle but the whining of bourgeois petty nationalists. Roughly equivalent to the sort of bitching you hear from Balts. Separatism is more or less dead in Quebec, which I'm pretty thrilled about. Now we just need to kick some sense into Alberta.
Why is it that the only actually competent Western leftist groups tend to be ethno-nationalist in some way, while the more ideological ones either spend most of their time spouting violent rhetoric without doing anything or in the rare instances when they try something, end up being massive embarrassments
>>2697356this is just fake, competent western leftist groups existed and somehow still exist and they do something.
>>2699416name them, the morons who robbed a government bathroom or failed bank robbers who got shot and arrested
