>The right uses the state to censure. >The left uses people and popularity to censure. I think that's only because of how our country's electorate has evolved. The left would be happy to use the state to censure, and the right would be happy to use people and popularity to censure. You could find examples of both sides using populism or legalism to advance their agendas. >To fight the dictators I can simply join a militia and fight a civil war. You say that pretty casually! To me that sounds almost as daunting as being targeted by a populist mass.
