1. For A Left Populism
Argues for rebuilding a progressive politics by deliberately constructing a left populism that can articulate a broad ‘we’ against the neoliberal consensus and the entrenched political-economic elites; rejecting technocratic retreats and narrow identity politics, it proposes an agonistic democratic strategy that forges chains of equivalence among divergent social demands, builds hegemonic alliances, and frames political conflict as a legitimate confrontation between adversaries rather than an attempt to erase difference, thereby opening space to democratize institutions, mobilize popular energies, and advance egalitarian, pluralist alternatives without replicating the exclusionary logics of the right.
