Chip,

This idea of Disciplinarian Populism is very useful, and it fits neatly into other studies of the role of demonization and scapegoating, that Matt Lyons and I used in "Right-Wing Populism in America." Populism can be left wing, or right wing, or centrist. It is a style. Some of the best writing on scapegoating and populism is by Laclau and Postone.
