“民粹主义”这个词有一个具有讽刺意味的不幸：它变得流行起来。摆脱了学术话语的束缚，民粹主义现在在政治家，记者和媒体知识分子所占据的辩论空间中蓬勃发展，如“民粹主义倾向”，“民粹主义努力”，“民粹主义危险”等。如果要拯救这个概念，就必须对它进行分类和阐述。下面将试图确定如何以及在什么条件下可以有效地使用“民粹主义”一词。
The word “populism” has had an ironic misfortune: it has become popular. Having escaped the clutches of scholarly discourse, populism now thrives in the polemical space occupied by politicians, journalists and media intellectuals in polemical expressions such as “populistic drift,” “populist endeavors,” “populist peril,” etc. In this context, the term has been adopted as a pejorative category with menacing connotations as is, without first subjecting it to critical scrutiny. If this concept is to be saved, it has to be classified and elaborated. The following will seek to determine how and under what conditions the term “populism” can be fruitfully used.
