The Populist Movement Explained

[@underballbutter]

This getting more relevant than ever in the U.S. right now

[@mrrogersrabbit]

Yep, things are about to go batshit both parties going full reactionary.

Its complete bullshit never orginated in america and is far older

[@fatimamagana2686]

Daniel Stokker don’t be rude

[@grim_dave]

​@@danielstokker dude focuses on US Politics. He's a sincere educator. I get you're talking from a world perspective, hence why you could probably forgive them for y'know, being American and only looking inward. It's interesting to me as an Aussie because our system draws more parallels with the UK and the US systems and therefore ideologies that stem out of those countries. They're also some of the concepts that were around when my country was writing up its constitution and gaining ideas. Forgive Fatima for thinking "bullshit" is rude. I'm on the same page as you mate.

Who were the original populists? (0:42) The name populist is from Latin 'populares," Julius Caesar's supporters in ancient Rome. The Narodniks, Russia's populists, also predate the U.S. variant.

[@edith4556]

I got so much info out of this video on The Populist Movement than on any other I've watched.Thanks!

[@iammrbeat]

+Edith Moreno Thank you so much. I sometimes get rude comments on my videos, and this totally makes up for those. :D

[@Goodkidjr43]

Inflation was not low. It had nothing to do with crop prices. The monopolists cornered the market and controlled prices. The book, "The Tobacco Wars" is an excellent account of the Duke brothers who cornered the market in tobacco. They were the only buyers and offered very low prices and then sold the tobacco at higher prices. God bless, Michael

[@bryaneaton9361]

I'm curious if anyone noticed the guy in the center of the group using the "Shaka" hand gesture at 7:28 in the video. Did this hand gesture have a different meaning during this era?

[@kauffner]

This video barely mentions free coinage of silver, although this was populism's signature issue. The Populists argued that Andrew Jackson would have been sympathetic to the free silver idea, so he became a populist retroactively. When Trump was elected, people compared him to Jackson. Through this process involving two overly extended analogies, Trump became a populist as well. Jackson was a hard money man, ideologically the opposite of a free-silver populist. What do Trump and Jackson have in common? Mostly that they both led personality driven presidencies.

[@johnweber4577]

The commonality was that both measures were expressly meant to disperse financial power from the elites who controlled the gold backing the paper money. It is not the same tactic, but it was done in the same spirit to achieve similar aims that accepted and adapted to the new circumstances of the bourgeoning Industrial Age. William Jennings Bryan himself very much saw Andrew Jackson as a personal hero.

[@robertrichard6107]

Andrew Jackson was a Genocidal racist not unlike Trump. I doubt Trump knew his way around central banks like Jackson, or JFK with his silver certificates.

Populism is only the explanation of the zeitgeist. Right now (due to the massive loss of jobs and cultural crisis) people want a national populist.

[@AmritSingh-oz5pm]

Thanks sir for providing such a information

[@bryaneaton9361]

Actually, upon further inspection, the guy in the middle of the group at 7:28 in the video has his hand tucked into his jacket. But, did he leave his pinky and thumb out on purpose? Hmmmm...

[@robsmithadventures1537]

It's a shame it didn't go any further than it did.

[@robertrichard6107]

It got worse before it got better with FDR. Then, a Kansas City Party Meat Puppet 'Harry Truman' got on the ballot in '44 somehow. All hope was then lost since Henry Wallace should have been the next president.

Why's everyone always giving credit to Kansas as being the most note-worth hub of populism in the late 19th century. Bryan was from Nebraska, and like Kansas, Nebraska had two populist governors.
