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 Neoliberalism and that  Right-Wing Populism will only make it stronger. Like it's brother it also opposes the EU for the most part, but it's usually more open to reforming it rather then abolishing it.

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.
