'''Left-Wing Populism '''is an economically and (usually) culturally left-wing ideology that emphasizes the popular frustrations of the working class (e.g. lack of healthcare, poverty, unemployment) for political gain. Its proponents either advocate some form of [[File:Soc-h.png]] [[Socialism]] (typically [[File:Demsocstar.png]] [[Democratic Socialism]]) or just [[File:Socdem.png]] [[Social Democracy]]. It saw a rise after the events of the Financial crisis of 2007-2008 and the Europe debt crisis, leading to movements like Occupy Wall Street. It believes that it is the only viable way to fight off [[File:Neoliberal-icon.png]] [[Neoliberalism]] and that [[File:Rpop-tinfoilhat.png]] [[Right-Wing Populism]] will only make it stronger. Like its brother, it also opposes the EU for the most part, but is usually more open to reforming it rather than abolishing it.

===[[File:CLPop.png]] Centre-Left Populism===
'''Centre-Left Populism''' is a left wing ideology that is at times hard to find, as it looks similar to regular [[File:LPop.png]] left-populists or [[File:Socdem.png]] [[Social Democracy|social democrats]] because of its fiery rhetoric but moderate left wing policies. It is essentially populist social democracy, generally seen marching with people for things like universal healthcare and free tuition however many also take centrist positions on social issues in particular on self-ID and immigration, or might just not talk about social issues that much, in order to push for more left wing economic policies. Many are also soft euroscepts due to the European Union pushing neoliberal policies and oppose globalisation but mostly not with protective tariffs. Neil Kinnock was possibly the most famous centre left populist before converting to [[File:3way.png]] [[Third Way]] although modern politicians such as AOC and Bernie Sanders could also be described as centre left populists as they have no connection to hard left socialism, such as nationalisation or worker ownership, but are still decidedly left wing and populistic.
===[[File:LaFollete.png]] La Follette Progressivism===
'''La Follette Progressivism''' is an [[File:Leftunity.png]] [[:category:Left Unity|economically left]] and [[File:Prgess.png]] [[:category:Culturally Left|culturally left]] political ideology based off the Wisconsin progressive movement under Governor, Senator, and Representative [[w:Robert M. La Follette|Robert M. La Follette]]. La Follette led a political dynasty in Wisconsin, which was continues by his sons [[w: Robert M. La Follette Jr.|Robert Jr.]] and [[w:Philip La Follette|Philip]], who were Senator and Governor respectively. Wisconsin’s progressive movement saw its peak in 1924, when La Follette’s third party presidential run won nearly 17% of the national vote and carried Wisconsin.<br>
