Levitsky acerta ao notar que autoritários vencem porque elites lhes dão salvo-conduto. Mas sua saída é confiar em “elites responsáveis” que mantenham a democracia com participação limitada. Uma crítica ao autoritarismo que acaba presa numa visão elitista da própria democracia.

Patriotism or ‘identity’ politics?
In JCES, @bolandeira.bsky.social & @theoaiolfi.bsky.social show how Mélenchon’s vision of 'créolisation' shakes up the populist playbook - offering a path beyond nationalist appeals & the worn-out binary of universalism vs. particularism.

Thrilled to share this (apparently controversial) piece with @theoaiolfi.bsky.social digging into how the French left imagines “the people.”

Can left populism embrace anti-racism & queer politics - or must it stick to patriotism to reach “the people”?
