It NEVER had working class roots. The working class was driving it as much as blacks are driving academia right now - slightly more because the working class would more frequently produce high ranking egregore members.

Maybe it's more correct to say that it tries to harness working class energy. (Marx was clearly not a working class man) But she isn't *completely* wrong here, in that the left at this stage seems to have completely given up on populism

When it needed things the working class could provide it included them. Now that it doesn't it's inefficient to include them - it dilutes insider value.

The problem on this dimension is that the right isn't allowed to articulate what it's actually for - it's restricted to saying what it opposes Departing from populism is fine when populism conflicts with its actual mission but its only source of power is populism which is a bind

The right is popular because people (correctly) sense that things are going off the rails under left rule. The solutions that appeal to the masses aren't always correct or even improvements. If the right deviates from the popular to better serve it's mission - great.

"If it's popular it's not necessarily good" "If it's popular it's always bad" "If it's unpopular it might still be good" "If it's unpopular it must be good" Lotta haze in there in people who can't actually think.

All of those measures are pretty badly broken when you have mind control and intentional obfuscation of cause and effect. People might hate some end state but not be able to understand what causes it. They might hate some thing that's actually holding back bad consequences.
