An article from the leftist magazine Dissent criticizing American "right populism" as nothing more than a front for the usual elite capitalist interests.
By "right populism", the author evidently means a movement that is socially conservative but economically progressive, and hence oriented to the working class.
The author regards such movements as non-existent or wholly fake, at least in the United States. His solution is to make US elections more democratic, which he believes will favor leftists (real progressives).
But what if they actually favor real "right populists"?
Be careful what you wish for...
