Left-Wing Populism

Left-Wing Populism is a culturally and/or economically left wing ideology that emphasizes the popular frustrations of the working class (e.g. lack of healthcare, poverty, unemployment) for political gain. 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 Right-Wing Populism and that  Neoliberalism will only make it stronger. Like it's brother it also opposes the EU for the most part.

Personality and Behaviour
Left-Wing Populism loves holding signs and browses twitter. Sometimes may act as a champaigne 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 hotheaded but still genuinely cares for the working class, even if they're not what they expected the working class to be.
