Part 4/10:
The Rise of Left-Wing Populism
The next left-wing movement, as envisioned by strategists, will be characterized by anti-elite, anti-corporate, and protectionist rhetoric. It will focus on economic policies such as freezing rents, expanding subsidized childcare, establishing state-owned grocery stores, and promoting other populist economic measures—regardless of their practicality.
This shift echoes recent victories in places like New York, where figures like Manny Diem emphasized economic populism over traditional left identities. These policies are designed to appeal to a broad base of disillusioned voters tired of neoliberalism, globalization, and economic inequality.
