I’m not speaking about the U.S. with its screwed electoral college and first-past the post system. I’m speaking out of the perspective of a German where we have a strong representative democracy with rampant populist parties having major influence in politics due to the amount of people that vote for them.
rampant populism is a symptom of capitalists controlling the process through money. my country is exactly the same through us influence.
of course different countries different circunstances, but changing around the players of the game barely changes anything if we don’t strive to change the game.
Populism is existent in every democracy. It does not solely stem from capitalism. People like hearing simple answers to complex problems which doesn’t work.
