The People vs. The Elite: Understanding Populism's Global Rise
Imagine a world sharply divided between "pure, ordinary citizens" and "corrupt elites" who betray them. This isn't just political rhetoric-it's the essence of populism, perhaps the most influential political force of our time. From Bernie Sanders railing against billionaires to Donald Trump vowing to "drain the swamp," populist leaders worldwide tap into the same powerful current despite their vastly different ideologies. What makes populism so potent yet so difficult to pin down? At its core, populism is a "thin-centered ideology" that divides society into two homogeneous, antagonistic groups: the virtuous people versus the corrupt elite. Unlike comprehensive ideologies like socialism or liberalism, populism has a limited core that attaches to other ideologies-explaining why it appears in socialist form in Latin America, nationalist form in Europe, and various guises in the United States. What makes populism particularly powerful is its moral framing-the elite aren't just privileged but fundamentally immoral. When politics becomes a moral crusade rather than practical problem-solving, the ground for democratic compromise shrinks dramatically.
