populism

noun [ U ]   POLITICS   mainly disapproving

political ideas and activities that are intended to get the support of ordinary people by giving them what they want:

a political approach that strives to appeal to ordinary people who feel that their concerns are disregarded by established elite groups.

Populism refers to political activities or ideas that claim to promote the interests and opinions of ordinary people.

能力に応じて評価されるべきだ、という建前の社会で落ちこぼれた人たちは怒りの持って行き場がない。そこで、反エリート、反上級国民をうたい大衆の願望を叶えてくれるような大衆迎合主義者が支持を増大させていくんだ、と。

What is populism, and what does the term actually mean?

The pure people

In political science, populism is the idea that society is separated into two groups at odds with one another - "the pure people" and "the corrupt elite", according to Cas Mudde, author of Populism: A Very Short Introduction.

She argues that populist content is "made of negatives" - whether it is anti-politics, anti-intellectualism, or anti-elite. Here lies one of the populism's strengths - it is versatile.

It is "extraordinarily powerful because it can adapt to all situations," she said.

Another common thread among populist leaders is they tend to dislike the "complicated democratic systems" of modern government - preferring direct democracy like referendums instead, according to Prof Bull.

ポピュリズムは上級国民と大衆/庶民とを分断するのみならず、大衆、庶民の名において、独裁主義的になり、民主主義的な既存の制度まで破壊する危険まであるんだ、と。ーートランプ支持者が議会に乱入したのは記憶に新しい。

Populism Is Meaningless

By reducing the term to a political pejorative, we risk rendering it worthless.

　ポピュリズムという言葉が曖昧に使われすぎて無意味なってきている、という指摘もある。　

　民衆の意思を代表するものがポピュリズムなら現代の政治家は多かれ少なかれポピュリストじゃないか、ポピュリズムをナショナリズムと同義に使う人達がいるが、ポピュリズムは大衆、庶民を重要視するのであって、特定の民族を重要視するのではない、さらに、アメリカのサンダースやイギリスのコービンもポピュリストだという人がいるが、彼らは政敵を非合法視はしていない、と。
