Populism is not a style, it's a people's rebellion against corporate power.

Yes, great article. We don't hear about the real history of the American people through our schools and media. A history of labor struggles and struggling for our rights , just like today.

What the Corporate Media are calling "Populists" are really nothing more then Corporate Sponsored "Populists" brought to us by Exxon, Wall Street and Corporation America to promote Corporate Interests.

It was so all through our history and again today. These movements are already growing. While the Right Wing is taking to the Hills and Deep Forests with their rifles the rest of us are building.

Workers of the world unite, we have nothing to lose but our chains.

Communist manifesto rubbish.

Communist manifesto rubbish acording to right wings of the backward minds of the conservative party and their voice box fox news which is loaded with BS.

I guess that by the definition that is presented in the article; Stalin, Lenin, Hitler, and others of the same cloth are populists.

Yes, true. Unfortunately, the Socialist or Communist state has uniformly failed. Maybe that's why they are called "progressives" since they're progressing backwards.

Socialist or Communist?LMAF Consevatives have use this Socialist and Communist talk for years and here it is 2009 and you guys still preach this to your kids so they can keep it going for years and more years to come. Well, what do you think of the right wing Socialist and Communist?

They are figments of your fevered imagination.

I could do this all day, but I'm going to see a movie in a few minutes.

Well, I knew you could, I wanted to see if you would even try to answer what everyone knows about your right wing party.

Everyone?

I'm assuming you're meaning "everyone" in your social circle as they are likely as brain-dead as you.

Perhaps you should try reading some political science treatises rather than comic books.

The large corporations and the unions both contribute much more to the Democrats than the Republicans. That fact is well documented in several threads on this forum.

Populists tend to be movements with a tendency towards a combination of anarchy and a disrespect for traditional constitutional law.

Obviously, Palin and Limbaugh are not populists. Neither wish to destroy constitutional law and its limits to government authority.

A good example of a populist movement abroad is the Black Shirts who became the Fascist party of Mussolini. They ginned up a popular movement that destroyed or compromised the Italian government. Another would be the SD brown shirts of Ernst Rohmer. Of course, Rohmer and many of the party were eliminated during the Night of the Long Knives by the even more murderous SS.

Since Lord Protector Cromwell, the anglo-sphere has shied away from the excesses of such popular movements. Poor old Upton Sinclair was sure the Jungle would cause a socialist revolution, but ended up with the FDA and humane slaughter laws, much to his chagrin.

Old Yellah, using Pogo, another of you aliases as a greek chorus is one of your oldest tricks. I’ve caught you on this before and its still amateurish.

Having destroyed the liberal brand, the left now attempts to resurrect the progressive brand. Its nothing but old vinegar in new bottles.

Palin and Limbaugh must have the left scared shaitless. They save their most vile and venal attacks for those they fear. Its contemptible, or am I being redundant!

I hope you don't dump all us democrats in the same pot as this jocker and ol Rosco p c0ktrained. We don't all suffer from BDS and class envy as bad as the two shortbus twins.

Noblue is not one of a kind, just ask his other personnas. The man does Three Faces of Eve as a nightly performance.

The far right now utterly dominates the GOP base. That's OK in most of the Deep South. although even here the GOP is on the defensive, losing red congressional seats.
