Of course it is an obvious fact that all Fascists are also populists. But in order to be a populist, one need not be a fascist.
We wish Trump was full-Fascist, and think it’s funny when people call him that, but in actuality, he is just a normal American populist, speaking to the masses where they are at.
Al-Jazeera is right.
The Donald is very bad news in very many ways, but he’s no fascist. Fascists believed in redeeming nations through large-scale violence; for them, war as such created meaning in people’s lives. Fascism promised its followers that they would be ennobled by hardship and would gain immortality through the national collective; Trump glorifies individualism and, like former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, suggests that anyone who makes an effort can have a life of comfort just like his.
Trump should be described as a far-right populist. In the United States, the word “populism” is mostly associated with left-wing movements advocating for Main Street against Wall Street. Both the self-described socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders and Trump are routinely called populists, so it appears they must have something in common. But this is misleading.
A real populist is not just a critic of powerful elites. He or she is a politician who claims to be the one and only legitimate representative of the true people. In the populist imagination, the people are always fully unified and morally infallible; there is no such thing as a legitimate opposition, nor are there minorities who might legitimately disagree with the savior of the people. Populists always pose a danger to democracy because they deny the pluralism inherent in modern democratic societies.
Populism is always the one true ideology, whatever its form. There is no reason, whatsoever, that minorities should ever have a say in anything, or for that matter even be allowed in the country. The people are the people, and they have a right to rule.
The people are our only people. Long live the people.
