At the same time, Fairey's ...

The hard-to-translate word 'völkisch' has connotations of "folksy," "folkloric," and "populist." It comes from the German word Volk, meaning "people, nation."

In the communist or Marxist-Leninist movement, an anti-revisionist is one who favors a strict interpretation of the ideology in accordance with the teachings of Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, and Mao.

The Populist Party grew out of the agrarian revolt that rose after the collapse of agriculture prices following the Panic of 1873. The Farmers' Alliance, formed in Lampasas, Texas in 1876, promoted collective economic action by farmers and achieved widespread popularity in the South and Great Plains. The Farmers' Alliance was ultimately unable to achieve its wider economic goal of collective economic action against brokers, railroads, and merchants, and many in the movement agitated for changes in national policy. By the late 1880s, the Alli ...

Populism is characterized by a sometimes radical critique of the status quo, but on the whole does not have a strong political identity as either a left-wing or right-wing movement. Populism has taken left-wing, right-wing, and even centrist forms. In recent years, conservative politicians have begun adopting populist rhetoric; for example, promising to "get big government off your backs", or to stand up to "the powerful trial lawyer lobby", "the liberal elite", or "the Hollywood elite". Also in recent years, left-wing politicians have incre ...

During the 1990s, Chinese intellectuals have vigorously debated the political meaning and significance of the rising nationalism in China. From their debates has emerged a multifarious populist nationalism which argues that anti-imperialist nationalism in China has provided a valuable public space for popular participation outside the country's political institutions and that nationalist sentiments under the postcolonial condition represent a democratic form of civic activity. Advocates of this theory promote nationalism as an ideal of populist politics and as an embodiment ...

Steyn once presented a programme on BBC Radio 3, and boasted that he had been the first person to play a Madonna record on that station. (BBC Radio 3 has historically been a high-culture-orientated station which mainly plays classical music). Steyn has been a vocal critic of American journalism and the so-called j-school culture imbibed in many of America's universities, describing American newspapers as "the dullest in the world", and dismissing the idea of journalism as a profession to be studied. "When I started out in journalism, ...
