	1896: The People's Party
		One, the fusion Populists, sought to merge with the Democrats, using the threat of independent organization to force changes in the major party's platform.
		In practice, these Populists were not "in the middle," but more sweeping in their political goals than either of the major parties, while fusionists were more willing to compromise in hopes of winning powerful Democratic allies.
		Fusionist Populists campaigned enthusiastically for Bryan; many Republicans and Gold Democrats depicted "Populists" and "Silver Democrats" as a united opposition, though this was far from the case.

	The Populist Paradox
		A true populist would try to appeal broadly, across the entire population, especially to the least privileged that make up the majority of people, not the smartest, not the richest, not the most educated Americans.

		A true populist relates to the common person because he or she by virtue of their entire background is more of a common person than an elitist.

	Bambooweb: Populism
		Some early left-wing populist parties directly fed into the later emergence of the Socialist movement, while other populist parties have taken on a more right-wing character and fed the careers of people widely viewed as demagogues, such as Father Charles Coughlin.
		Mencken defined a demagogue as "one who preaches doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots." The word is nowadays mostly used as a political insult: political opponents are described as demagogues, but people we approve of are "men of the people", or great speechmakers.
		It could be argued that none of these men were genuine populists because they usually saw the masses as not fit to govern for themselves and therefore their elitist and privileged style of leadership was needed to govern and regulate the behaviour of the masses.

	MyDD :: Latin America Matters: Populist or Leftist?
		In short, the Populist vs Leftist distinction boils down to whether the leader is merely "buying his way to power" by appealing to the masses, using demagoguery, nationalism, or whether the leader represents a popular political movement with an interest and well though-out strategy for making structural changes to the economy.
		Populist is NOT a "style." It is a term that was invented to describe a real movement by real people who left behind real political documents that we can read.
		Generally, populist politicians are known to have a very distinctive rhetorical style, and make broad promises that would, at least in theory, directly and immediately help 'the average person' in the population.
