Encyclopedia > Groupe socialiste des travailleurs

The Groupe socialiste des travailleurs du Québec or GST (in English: Quebec Socialist Workers' Group) was a far left political movement founded in 1973 by militants of the Fourth International in Quebec, Canada . Involved in trade-unions, the GST worked for the creation, in 1974, of the Regroupement des militants syndicaux and, on the municipal scene, of the Rassemblement des citoyens de Montréal. The GST was also at the origin of the coalition of the Nouveau Parti démocratique du Québec and the Regroupement des militants syndicaux that contested seats in the 1976 Quebec general election. It also ran independent candidates in the 1981 Quebec general election.


The GST was disbanded in 1987. Most of its members joinded the NPD-Québec.

Groupe Marxiste Révolutionnaire (1972-1977), Ligue Ouvrière Révolutionnaire (1977-1980), Organisation Combat Socialiste (1980-1982), Mouvement socialiste (1982-1983), Gauche socialiste (1983-...): such is the political itinerary taken through the anti-capitalist left in Quebec by those whose plumb line has been the defence of the program of the Fourth International as we understood it.
In August 1977, the Groupe Marxiste Révolutionnaire, the Revolutionary Marxist Group (a sympathizing group of the Fourth International in English Canada with which the GMR maintained close relations) and the League for Socialist Action/Ligue socialiste ouvrière (the section of the Fourth International) fused to form a new Trotskyist organization in the Canadian state.
Gauche socialiste was a founding participant in the RAJ [Regroupement autonome des jeunes], the Coalition québécoise pour le désarmement et la paix, the SCRAP-Paradis [a social assistance coalition fighting "reforms" piloted by the minister, Paradis], and the Coalition québécoise pour l’avortement libre et gratuit [Quebec coalition for free abortion on demand].
