This is a popular bit of wishcasting, you see it in both left and centrist-y versions, and it is absolutely not true. Populism is about identity and exclusion, it is not people lashing out because they secretly yearn for whatever your preferred economic policy is.
"The Ascent of populist movements is telling us that governments have have strayed too far from being responsive to the working class"
This is probably the only area where AOC agrees with JD Vance and Josh Hawley.

We bought Article II of the United Nations Charter with the blood of a hundred million human beings, and less than a century later, it's being sold for nothing by people who don't even understand what they're doing.
i think this is what drives me nuts. people talk about how, say, the UN was founded by "starry eyed idealists" who didn't understand "reality." the truth is that the UN was founded by those who had just fought and *won* the bloodiest war in human history.

With the growing far-right, it's a good reminder of how we can still fight back - and win.

It creates 3-4 times the “wealth” and in the end, after reaching the greedy top, its taxed back out of the economy.
