There's a variety of "left"-wing populist who says "big 'parasitic' banks and MNC's bad, small 'productive' industry good," if not "police and state power good." And they do so in a way that does NOT regard the big banks and MNC's as phenomenal expressions of capital accumulation, but as sui generis evils. This species is far
more numerous than the out-and-out, self-avowed "fascist," and
might lend discursive credibility if not organizational support to the
paleo-libertarian right. At the same time, left-wing populists DO have a legitimate beef, if not well-conceived critique, of neo-liberals firmly ensconced in the DP firmament, beholden to and carrying water for Wall Street. How to thread this needle? With no answer, there's zero hope.
