"They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They’ve long since bought the senate, the congress, the state houses, the city halls, judges and they own all the big media companies so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying to get more for themselves and less for everybody else. They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking."
Left-Wing Populism is an economically and (usually) culturally left-wing ideology that emphasizes the popular frustrations of the working class (e.g. lack of healthcare, poverty, unemployment) for political gain. Its proponents either advocate some form of 
Socialism (typically 
Democratic Socialism) or just 
Social Democracy. It saw a rise after the events of the Financial crisis of 2007-2008 and the Europe debt crisis, leading to movements like Occupy Wall Street. It believes that it is the only viable way to fight off 
Neoliberalism and that 
Right-Wing Populism will only make it stronger. Like its brother, it also opposes the EU for the most part, but is usually more open to reforming it rather than abolishing it.
Variants
La Follette Progressivism
La Follette Progressivism is an 
economically left and 
culturally left political ideology based off the Wisconsin progressive movement under Governor, Senator, and Representative Robert M. La Follette. La Follette led a political dynasty in Wisconsin, which was continues by his sons Robert Jr. and Philip, who were Senator and Governor respectively. Wisconsin’s progressive movement saw its peak in 1924, when La Follette’s third party presidential run won nearly 17% of the national vote and carried Wisconsin.
Aspects of La Follette’s political thought included state ownership of railway, 
cheap credit for farmers, outlawing child labor, laws promoting union interests, 
protection of civil liberties, 
ending American imperialism in Latin America, and a referendum before any president could lead the nation into war. La Follette initially supported the 
Bolsheviks in the Russian Civil War, but later became 
anti-communist after visiting the young 
USSR.
It is important to note that this ideology is distinct from the 
Bull Moose Progressivism of Theodore Roosevelt. The progressivism of La Follette was populist in nature and appealed to Midwestern and Western farmers, while Roosevelt’s progressivism was more elitist and appealed to Eastern urbanites. La Follette was also harshly critical of Roosevelt, considering him as not adequately progressive. He was also a critic of the 
Taft Administration. La Follette opposed both in the 1912 elections, voting for 
Socialist nominee 
Eugene Debs (though he did not formally endorse any candidate).
Left-Wing Euroscepticism
Left-Wing Euroscepticism is a version of Euroscepticism that focuses on the issues the left has with the European Union. Leftists criticize the European Union as being an undemocratic neoliberal elitist empire that has contributed to the rise of wealth inequality within Europe through the use of its austerity monetary policies and free-trade agreements. To the extent leftists oppose the European Union is seen within the ideology. Moderate socialists usually hold soft-eurosceptic views while communists and other hardline left-wing ideologies hold hard eurosceptic views. But that doesn't mean that they oppose the idea of the European Union, some support a communist version of the European Union.
Dirtbag Leftism
The Dirtbag Left is a style of left-wing politics that forgoes civility and things associated with the left-wing in the United States like identity politics and political correctness to convey left-wing populist and anti-capitalist messages. The movement has been described as anti-fascist, anti-conservative, anti-centrist, anti-inequality, and anti-liberal. It shows support for redistributive economic policies and the presidential campaign of Bernie Sanders. The media associated with the dirtbag left includes podcasts like the Chapo Trap House.
