The word 'populism' has come to cover all manner of sins. Yet
despite the prevalence of its use, it is often difficult to
understand what connects its various supposed expressions. From
Syriza to Trump and from Podemos to Brexit, the electoral
earthquakes of recent years have often been grouped under this
term. But what actually defines 'populism'? Is it an ideology, a
form of organisation, or a mentality? Marco Revelli seeks to answer
this question by getting to grips with the historical dynamics of
so-called 'populist' movements. While in the early days of
democracy, populism sought to represent classes and social layers
who asserted their political role for the first time, in today's
post-democratic climate, it instead expresses the grievances of
those who had until recently felt that they were included. Having
lost their power, the disinherited embrace not a political
alternative to -isms like liberalism or socialism, but a populist
mood of discontent. The new populism is the 'formless form' that
protest and grievance assume in the era of financialisation, in the
era where the atomised masses lack voice or organisation. For
Revelli, this new populism the child of an age in which the Left
has been hollowed out and lost its capacity to offer an
alternative.
