Left-wing populism

Left-wing populism is a political approach that combines leftist ideas, such as social equality and government intervention in the economy, with a populist style that seeks to represent the common people against an elite. It often emphasizes issues like wealth redistribution, workers' rights, and social justice while critiquing corporate power and political corruption. Leaders of left-wing populist movements aim to mobilize grassroots support, advocating for policies that address the needs of everyday people rather than the interests of the wealthy or established political structures. Examples include figures like Bernie Sanders in the U.S. and movements like Podemos in Spain.
