His piece seemed to suggest it was an example of why identity politics can be so toxic, as this seemed a natural progression, just with a pro-white slant.<br /><br />Can't help but feel this is one of my usual terrible contributions, but since much of the cultural elements are predicated on a rejection of postmodernist absurdities, would "modern left" be an appropriate moniker?SHNnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6245381193993153721.post-52298293541612332672016-08-09T17:31:41.431-07:002016-08-09T17:31:41.431-07:00LK

"Social Democratic Left" sounds good too.<br /><br />I like to use the term "Populist Left" but populism has been given a bad reputation by the media. Now when people hear the word "populism" they think solely of demagoguery, charismatic leaders with personality cults, and racism. <br /><br />I think this does not do historical populist movements justice but I fear the word is tainted for the near future.
