Kde založit první matriarchickou stranu?

V této práci je casto uvádena kanadská provincie Quebec, aby ospravedlnila založení matriarchátu. Na zacátku ovlivnovalo autora manifestu lokálne smerem k matriarchátu. Mnohem dríve se myšlenka manifestu Mezinárodní matriarchistické strany stala ješte vhodnejší. Je treba pridat nekteré strategické prvky, které Quebec príznive staví pro úspech první matriarchistické strany na svete.

The Matriarchist party will thus focus on putting together the required elements to launch an official matriarchist party in Canada during the coming year. We will also investigate other parts of the Western world, where matriarchist ideas could rapidly gather some public support. One promising European land where the manifesto's author already has strong ties and knowledge is Czechia. Many Czech people's characteristics suggest that the country is also ready to move towards matriarchy.

The Rhino Party once finished 2nd in front of the NDP and the Conservatives

Since the rise of independence support in the 1960s, the province of Quebec has often created surprises in Canada's federal elections. Indeed, a large proportion of Quebec voters simply do not recognize themselves in the traditional pan-Canadian parties' ideas. In the February 1980 elections, in the Laurier riding, the rhinoceros candidate Sonia Côté, known for her "Clown" character, caused quite a surprise by taking the second position, before the New Democratic Party (NDP) and the Conservative Party1 .

The Rhinoceros Party is an all utterly wacky party that promised, for example, to unify the country by razing the Rocky Mountains. It also presented a mime candidate, supposed to represent the silent majority. This party still exists, but it now ranks among the marginal parties.

Above all, the Rhinoceros Party adventure shows that the Quebec electorate could be very open at taking the risk to support a party with genuinely revolutionary ideas in the Canadian federal elections. Voting has indeed shown high volatility during the past decade federal elections in Quebec2 .

Matriarchist candidates by 2021 in Canada

While confirming Quebec's electorate's volatility, the recent federal elections in October 2019 has put in place a minority government. Minority governments' duration rarely exceeds two years in Canada. Therefore, we can plan to present official matriarchist party's candidates in probable elections for 2021 or 2022 in Canada. A matriarchist party successful result in Quebec could then play a springboard role afterward, to generate enthusiasm in the rest of Canada, as had been the case for the Rhino Party in the past.

Large families ensured the Quebec people's sustainability.

The family institution played a vital role in helping the French fact survive in Quebec. For several decades, large families were the primary means of maintaining French language use in this part of Canada3 . Therefore, the big matrilocal family image will have a deep resonance in Quebec when it comes to ensuring a civilization's survival.

Former communist block countries disappointed by capitalism and democracy

Matriarchist ideas could become relatively quickly popular among the former Eastern Block people. Indeed, for many of them, the transition to capitalist democracy was not at all what they expected. The Czech Republic is an excellent example of potentially fertile land for matriarchist ideas.

Most massive demonstrations since the fall of the Iron Curtain

In 2019, signs of deep social unrest were visible in Czechia. On Sunday, June 23, more than 200,000 people gathered at the Letna Park in Prague.4 . Then on November 16, approximately 250,000 repeated the protests at the occasion of the 30th Velvet Revolution anniversary5 . The Czechs are evidently struggling in their experience of Democracy.

The nuclear family model is falling apart

The Czech typical family has changed tremendously since the Velvet Revolution in 1989. At the time, newborns were still coming almost exclusively from married couples. Thirty years later, close to a majority of babies are now born outside of marriage6 .

Not influenced by the monotheist patriarchs

The vast majority (72%) of the Czech people do not feel close to any religion. This fact puts the Czechs as a dramatic exception among the former Eastern block countries where they represent the only majority of the kind. It also puts them as one of the most secular countries in entire Europe.7 .

The land of a mythic matriarch

Princess Libushe (Libuše) is a legendary figure of the Czech people. She envisioned the future greatness of Prague as she took a crucial role in its founding. As an unmarried woman, this was already very unusual at the time8 .

But the legend goes much further. Under Libushe's reign, life ran on matriarchal principles. And at her death, Libushe's matriarchal order came to an end. Then, a furious army of amazon warriors did oppose the men for several generations by establishing a women-only colony9 . One of their most famous warrior and battle legend survives through the Divoka (Wild) Šárka Valley name.

Two progressists nations of reasonable size

With 8,5 and 10,6 million, both Quebec and Czechia have populations of reasonnably manageable size for new idea spreading. According to the results from the Social Cognitive Networks Academic Research Center (SCNARC) our target will be to convince approximately one million people (10% of the population) in both cases10 .

Quebec has been a North American public services leader in many areas during the past decades: public childcare, parental leave, and medical assistance in dying. Czechia kept an extended social safety net from its previous communist era. And while strongly dissatisfied with their political leadership, the Czechs rank best among central European former communist nations regarding life satisfaction11 . Thus in both cases, we can expect Quebec and Czech people to be relatively open in putting social values at high priority in a Matriarchist political, economic, and social system.
