My point is that populism, in the context of "populism can show the danger of democracy. A tyranny of the majority is not a good thing." is rule of the mob and so is actually ochlocracy, not democracy, as the demos is all of the people. A good example is wealth redistribution. A democracy might decide that it is good for society as a whole to tax and spend its way to a more even society, an ochlocracy is more apt to sieze that which is owned by whoever is currently most unpopular. Not all populist movements are ochlocratic, but all ochlocratic movements are in some way populist. Is hard to form a public mob without being populist.
