Renardism

Renardism

Renardism is a revolutionary theory specific to the socialism based on the thought of André Renard, combining Syndicalism and Walloon militancy.

This theory can be summarized with a sentence of André Renard in a speech on November 17, 1960 at Charleroi to syndicalists :

"They made us believe in the socialist opening in Flanders. Just look at numbers. For me, the combat remains whole, but I choose the best ground and the best weapons. For the moment, the best ground and the best weapons are in Wallonia, the best road passes by the defense of the Walloon interests. I am at the same time socialist and Walloon and I embrace the walloon thesises because they are socialist." [fr «"On nous a fait croire à la percée socialiste en Flandre. Il suffit de voir les chiffres. Pour moi, le combat reste entier, mais je choisis le meilleur terrain et les meilleures armes. Pour le moment, le meilleur terrain et les meilleures armes sont en Wallonie, la meilleure route passe par la défense des intérêts wallons. Je suis en même temps socialiste et wallon et j'épouse les thèses wallonnes parce qu'elles sont socialistes."» Robert Moreau, "Combat syndical et conscience wallonne", Charleroi, Liège, Bruxelles, 1984, p. 119]
