 Pierre Poujade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pierre Poujade (December 1, 1920–August 27, 2003) was a French populist politician after whom the Poujadist movement was named.
The movement's ideological issues were: lower taxes, corporatism, and the denouncing of politicians and media; later, the movement grew increasingly nationalist, xenophobic and critical of parliamentary institutions.
The word poujadisme now has in France the general meaning of some political ideology that articulates the worries of some part of the population facing social or economic change, and that blame the problems on the "establishment" and the political system.

Poujade rose from obscurity, and after a forceful and emphatic presence, he became less important and retired back to obscurity.
Poujade went to the communal school and wished to continue his education in the religious college at nearby Aurillac, but he had to leave as his mother could not continue to pay the fees.
Because the Fourth Republic seemed decadent, Poujade determined to have Poujadiste candidates in the surprise election of January 2 1956, although he refused to stand himself, emphasising that France would only be saved by the calling of a new Estates-General.

In spite of some resemblances, the parties considered as fascist since 1945 (in Fiance, for example, the R.P.F., poujadism, to some extent today the R.P.R) have not aimed at conquering an impotent State from the outside [4].
To insist on the recurring menace of fascism is to ignore the fact that the real fascism was poorly suited to the task it took on and failed: rather than strengthening German national Capital, Nazism ended by dividing it in two.

And you know of Barthes's disdain for poujadism of any era and of any political stripe.
In the writings of Poujade, women and foreigners are compared to a pharisaic species in which the poujadist projects his own image and that he pursues in his vexed nationalism, for the poujadist fears that the intellectual will "eye him scornfully", he who is the ground, origin, root and earth, the guardian and the temple.
An amalgam of constant suspicion, hate, provincial sentimentalism, "all anti-intellectualism ends in the death of language, that is, the destruction of sociality".

Pierre Poujade's Union in Defense of Merchants and Artisans was what today would be called an "anti-government" movement -- a militant group of small shopkeepers and rural folk who resented government taxes and regulation.
At the time there was a great outcry from the leftist-socialist establishment (on both sides of the Atlantic) that Poujade was a "fascist" and a "fl reactionary." But that is utter hogwash, as Murray N. Rothbard pointed out in his trenchant 1956 article on the subject:
Poujade himself strongly denies that his movement is fascist.
