Left-Wing Populism

Left-Wing Populism is a culutrally and/or economially left wing ideology that emphasizes the popular frustrations of the working class (e.g. lack of healthcare, poverty, unemployment) for political gain. It believes that liberalism has failed and that the only alternatives are him or his brother, Right-Wing Populism. 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 also believes that it is the only viable way to fight off Fascism 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. It's personality is similar to that of figures like Bernie, Jeremy Corbyn or Melenchon, very gruff and hotheaded but still genuinely cares for the working class.
