Don't blame it on populism. Populism is just people objecting to the ruling elite and a rigged economy. It's right wing populism that always gets paired with nationalism and xenophobia to breed fascism. Left wing populists don't have the same tendency.
That's fair. I short-handed because I'm only familiar with the right wing populist parties that are currently rising in popularity, so I figured the right wing part was implied. Are there any left wing populist parties rising right now in Europe?
Aside from being aware of the rightward motion I'm not really well versed on European politics. The best we have in the US is the Working Family's party that primarily works within the Democratic party because of our two party system.
I know Spain has done some interesting things with restructuring corporations to put workers in charge. I'm not familiar with the political landscape that made that possible.
