    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 Soc-h.png Socialism (typically Demsocstar.png Democratic Socialism) or just Socdem.png 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 Neoliberal-icon.png Neoliberalism and that Rpop-tinfoilhat.png 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.

    Variants

    LaFollete.png La Follette Progressivism

    La Follette Progressivism is an Leftunity.png economically left and Prgess.png culturally left political ideology based off the Wisconsin progressive movement under Governor, Senator, and Representative Robert M. La Follette. La Follette led a political dynasty in Wisconsin, which was continues by his sons Robert Jr. and Philip, who were Senator and Governor respectively. Wisconsin’s progressive movement saw its peak in 1924, when La Follette’s third party presidential run won nearly 17% of the national vote and carried Wisconsin.
    Aspects of La Follette’s political thought included state ownership of railway, Farm.png cheap credit for farmers, outlawing child labor, laws promoting union interests, Civlibert.png protection of civil liberties, Antiimp.png ending American imperialism in Latin America, and a referendum before any president could lead the nation into war. La Follette initially supported the Orthlen.png Bolsheviks in the Russian Civil War, but later became LeftAntiCom.png anti-communist after visiting the young Bolshevism ball.png USSR.
    It is important to note that this ideology is distinct from the NatProg.png Bull Moose Progressivism of Theodore Roosevelt. The progressivism of La Follette was populist in nature and appealed to Midwestern and Western farmers, while Roosevelt’s progressivism was more elitist and appealed to Eastern urbanites. La Follette was also harshly critical of Roosevelt, considering him as not adequately progressive. He was also a critic of the Taft.png Taft Administration. La Follette opposed both in the 1912 elections, voting for Sewersoc.png Socialist nominee Debs.png Eugene Debs (though he did not formally endorse any candidate).

    Euroscept.png Left-Wing Euroscepticism

    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.

    OldLpop.png Dirtbag Leftism

    The Dirtbag Left is a style of left-wing politics that forgoes civility and things associated with the left-wing in the United States like identity politics and political correctness to convey left-wing populist and anti-capitalist messages. The movement has been described as anti-fascist, anti-conservative, anti-centrist, anti-inequality, and anti-liberal. It shows support for redistributive economic policies and the presidential campaign of Bernie Sanders. The media associated with the dirtbag left includes podcasts like the Chapo Trap House.

    Personality and Behaviour

    Left-Wing Populism loves holding protests signs and browses Twitter.png Twitter for current issues.
