[personal profile] abomvubuso posting in [community profile] talkpolitics
Happy and prosperous new year to everyone! May it be way better than the one we've just sent away. Now, time to see what monthly topic you guys have chosen for the first month of the new year:

Political Radicalism



So here are some guidelines which we may or may not like to use regarding this topic.

- Prerequisites for the rise of populism: inequality, marginalisation, etc.
- The populist fringe as an alternative to mainstream politics
- Populist democracy and the use of direct democracy
- Reactionary populism and populist dictatorship
- Grassroots movement with populist inclinations
- Under-representation and lack of representation in politics
- Political populism and populist ideologies
- Social injustice as a trigger for fringe ideology
- Political extremism: history, tools, prominent figures
- Fringe politics as a strategy
- Vigilantism, violent extremism and terrorism
- Communism, anarchism, libertarianism, etc
- Political correctness and fringe reactions to it
- Emerging political figures of the fringe
- Religious fundamentalism as a political tool
- Anti-elitism, anti-intellectualism and anti-science sentiments
- Direct democracy: dangerous or potentially useful?
- Radial populism, and the use of violence to advocate it
- Most famous demagogues and the famous way they score political points


And here's the poll for February!

What should be the next monthly topic?

1) Pride and Prejudice
2) Conflict of Interest
3) International Trade Relations
4) The New Space Race
5) Infotainment And Punditry
