  I have a feeling that you're trying to imply that left-wing populism is similar to socialism and different from right-wing populism, and that you want to imply rather than say because saying that outright because would look ridiculous. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirchnerism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirchnerism has a list of the five main principles of the left-wing populist faction to which you refer. All of them are about external trade, central bank policy, etc, none of them mention any social policies at all. Do they look socialist to you? Any of them? On the other hand, can you even tell what makes them left- rather than right-wing populist? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_Party_(Argentina) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_Party_(Argentina) describes what the socialists think. The voters don't have a problem telling the difference.

    The fact you are persistently referring to wikipedia when discussing politics demonstrates everything anyone needs to know.

      For some definition of 'need', I suppose.
