'''Centre-Left Populism''' is a left wing ideology that is at times hard to find, as it looks similar to regular [[File:Lpop.png]] left-populists or [[File:Socdem.png]] [[Social Democracy|social democrats]] because of its fiery rhetoric but moderate left wing policies. It is essentially populist social democracy, generally seen marching with people for things like universal healthcare and free tuition however many also take centrist positions on social issues in particular on self-ID and immigration, or might just not talk about social issues that much, in order to push for more left wing economic policies. Many are also soft euroscepts due to the European Union pushing neoliberal policies and oppose globalisation but mostly not with protective tariffs.

Neil Kinnock was possibly the most famous centre left populist before converting to [[File:3way.png]] [[Third Way]] although modern politicians such as Bernie Sanders and Jack Layton could also be described as centre left populists as they have no connection to hard left socialism, such as nationalisation or worker ownership, but are still decidedly left wing and populistic. |

===[[File:Compop.png]] Communist Populism=== |

'''Communist Populism''' is a form of communism, it can be [[File:ML.png]] [[Marxism-Leninism]] or [[File:Trot.png]] [[Trotskyism]] and [[File:Chavismo.png]] [[Chavismo|adjacent]] [[Trotskyism|ideologies]] [[File:Cliff.png]], this is because that it refers to specific styles of appealing to the masses and painting a picture of "us vs them" in context to the political establishment, bourgeoise and their realtion to the proletariat. However not all forms of communism are populist as Communist Populism requires the mass movement to be prioritised over a Vanguard party and other elitist methods employed by various communist leaders such as the entryism practiced by Militant Tendency in [[File:UKLab.png]] the Labour Party from the 1960s to their expulsion in 1991. Hugo Chaves is commonly said to be a communist populist due to his role in the young officers coup as well as his presidential campaign in 1999 and the utilisation of charisma to create a new dictatorship in Venezuela whereas Maduro has relied entirely on the security forces to maintain his power. |

'''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. |

But that doesn't mean that they oppose the idea of the European Union, some support a communist version of the European Union. One of the most famous Left Euroscepts is Dennis Skinner who was the Labour MP for Bolsover from 1970 till 2019 despite this immensely long length of service he was never appointed minister by any Labour leader even in shadow cabinets due to both his radical leftism and his opposition to patronage. Though Corbyn did offer him a post to reward him for his support of his candiacy, Skinner refused. Another was Peter Shore who was a Labour candidate in several elections in the 1970s and 1980s and was known for his idiosyncratic left-wing nationalism as well as being famous for his great skills as a rhetorician. |

===[[File:ProgPop.png]] Progressive Populism=== |

'''Progressive Populism''' or '''Green Populism''', is a form of left-populism with a focus on progressive causes for social justice, climate change and economic justice it differs to regular left-populism as it may not be based upon the working class or material interests but form a broad coalition of socially and economically progressive voters to deliver change. It is also exclusively elect oralist meaning that while they may use a lot of protests and rallies to promote their ideals they do not attempt to overthrow governments by those but try to win elections or to pressure governments into making progressive decisions. Alexandia Ocasio-Cortez, the rest of the squad, and many Greens across the world such as Greta Thunburg are examples of progressive populism. |

'''Radical Left Populism''' is an ideology based around democratic socialism while adding in populist principles such as referendums and citizen action. It is also typically concerned with civil liberties and the planet often involved in protest movements to defend Palestine, Kurdistan, oppose police injustices and brutalities, climate action, worker and union strikes, new wars being manufactured and other such issues. They are also strongly motivated on the issue of corruption and dedicate lots of their time and energy in making various structures in society (such as socialist party leadership) more democratic and transparent. They can sometimes be critical of immigration (particularly labour immigration), free trade and the European Union and single market. One of the most famous Radical Left Populists is Dennis Skinner who was the Labour MP for Bolsover from 1970 till 2019 despite this immensely long length of service he was never appointed minister by any Labour leader even in shadow cabinets due to both his radical leftism and his opposition to patronage.
