Populism for the Left

The liberal democratic politics that the world once respected is now in crisis, and populism is taking advantage of the situation. Populism is not an ideology or a political system, but one of many forms of “doing politics.” It has broken out in recent years and established a new collective action subject - the people.

Populism is not the opposite of democracy. It can be a powerful weapon to create new political forces, establish political boundaries, restore democracy, and rebuild politics. Many people think that populists are just demagogic and emotional mobs commonly seen in the media, but Chantal, a leader in political and ideological circles. Murphy took a different approach, identifying it as an action force that actually "does politics."

In this new book, Murphy redefines "left-wing populism" - politics, which means establishing political boundaries, dividing society into different formations, and mobilizing "losing dogs" to fight against "the powerful." This is an existential struggle - populism will emerge victorious from the contemporary conflict between anti-post-politics and post-democratic threats to dominate the future. The battle between right-wing populism and left-wing populism is imminent. Who can become the future leader? That depends on whether left-wing populism has the ability to unite the people and move towards the restoration of democracy.

"Written to Left-wing Populism" is also a book written for you--you see the power of populism, but don't want populism to just be xenophobic and dominate others.
