The politics of the builders

Many of the people who first built USA came to understand that Producers have political needs because of the very nature of their work. They spawned many movements but the best-known called themselves Populists. Recently, the term populism has re-entered the political discussion. As a serious student of Producer politics, I took it upon myself to write a primer on Populism for the Daily Kos website.

 

Part One: Populism—an introduction

Part Two: Populism--Size matters

Part Three: Populism--a matter of class

Part Four: Populism--Marxism NOT

Part Five: Modern Populism--technological literacy
