|quote="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 [[File:Soc-h.png]] [[Socialism]] (typically [[File:Demsocstar.png]] [[Democratic Socialism]]) or just [[File:Socdem.png]] [[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 [[File:Neoliberal-icon.png]] [[Neoliberalism]] and that [[File:Rpop-tinfoilhat.png]] [[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. |
