Left-Wing Populism

Left-Wing Populism is a culturally and economically 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.

Personality and Behaviour

Left-Wing Populism loves holding protests signs and browses Twitter for current issues. Sometimes may act as a champagne socialist and it's personality is similar to that of figures like Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Jeremy Corbyn or Jean-Luc Melenchon, very gruff and hot-headed but still genuinely cares for the working class and minorities, even if they're not what they expected the working class to be.

How to Draw

The symbol of left-wing populism is a white fist (representing the power of the common people) on a red background (representing economic and cultural leftism).

Draw a ball.
Colour it red.
In the centre, draw a white fist coming from the base.
Draw some eyes and you're done!

Frenemies

Marxism-Leninism - I understand your values, but you are too undemocratic and elitist.
Right-Wing Populism - I like your style brother, but you're going in the wrong direction. And stop believing in conspiracy theories ~~although I believe the Megacorp elite conspiracy~~.
Paternalistic Conservatism - Like how you use left-leaning economics as a way to help people, idk about the whole social conservatism though.
Left-Accelerationism - I don't know man, it seems like this will kill a lot of people unnecessarily for a utopian future that may not ever arrive, and while a leftist, I think voting for the democrats will be the best way to save the planet. Because they are our best hope for saving the worlds destruction from things like Trump taking power, or saving us from climate change (At least I hope).
Anarcho-Communism - I am glad you see us as allies, but your ideals are just impossible to achieve, just vote for the politicians that help the people and that way we can enact change.
Chavismo - For all his faults Chavez was still kinda based tbh, RIP.
Welfare Chauvinism - STOP STEALING OUR BASE! ~~However you're still preferable to economically right-wing/neoliberal conservatives and nationalists though.~~
Jacobinism - You no doubt set the groundwork for modern day leftist movements but why did you have to kill so many innocent people?
European Federalism - The EU isn't a fundamentally bad idea, it just really needs reform so it works more for the people. Also I'm not too keen on the whole "United States of Europe" thing.
Social Liberalism - The New Deal was kinda based, but aside from that he's just way too moderate for me. Plus I don't like how much you compromise with them nowadays.
