Почему по всему миру побеждают правые популисты? И что можно противопоставить трампистам, АдГ и даже сторонникам Путина?

This podcast episode discusses the global rise of far-right political parties since the late 2000s, focusing on three key characteristics: anti-immigrant sentiment (often targeting non-white immigrants), a "law and order" approach, and populist rhetoric against elites. The interview explores why this trend is more successful than left-wing populism, suggesting that the right effectively channels voter frustration and offers a sense of belonging and identity, while the left often demands active participation and lacks a clear, unifying message. The speakers analyze the counterproductive nature of mainstream parties adopting far-right talking points and highlight the need for left-leaning parties to address economic anxieties and offer a positive vision of national identity to counter this trend. The discussion also touches upon the similarities between far-right movements in the West and authoritarian leaders like Putin and Erdogan. A key takeaway is that simply giving far-right parties power does not moderate them; instead, it often leads to the erosion of democratic institutions.
