The '''Organization for Popular Democracy – Labour Movement''' ({{langx|fr|Organisation pour la Démocratie Populaire - Mouvement du Travail}}) was the ruling political party in [[Burkina Faso]] from 1989 to 1996. It was founded in April 1989 by the [[Union of Burkinabè Communists]], the [[Revolutionary Military Organization]] (OMR) and factions from [[Communist Struggle Union - The Flame]] and [[Burkinabè Communist Group]] as a party based on [[Marxism]], but strongly pragmatic, adopting the free market in its economic plan. It renounced Marxism–Leninism in March 1991.<ref>''Political Parties of the World'' (6th edition, 2005), ed. Bogdan Szajkowski, page 96.</ref>
