民粹主义经常被概念化为一种“必要的邪恶”，一种与代议制民主的核心要素相抵触的现象，同时也在发挥作用。虽然有关民粹主义的文献出现了健康的增长，但关于情绪在民粹主义修辞中的作用以及这种修辞在走向政治暴力的道路上的作用的新问题也出现了。此外，关于欧洲民粹主义的文献主要使用量化分析来关注极右翼政党的话语或选举成功。本文对希腊极左翼民粹主义进行了定性分析，重点分析了2008年12月骚乱期间无政府主义者的话语。通过对参与暴乱的组织制作的38份S公报、传单和海报的深入研究，剖析了极左翼极端主义的思想基础，阐明了指责、受害和暴力报复之间的联系和逻辑路径。有人认为，新出现的叙事构成了一种旨在夺取权力的连贯的民粹主义意识形态，但也构成了一种基于受害者和愤怒的独特民粹主义身份，这两者都挑战了民粹主义与民主相容的概念。
Populism has often been conceptualised as a ‘necessary evil’, a phenomenon that is at odds with core elements of representative democracy while also fulfilling a functional role. While the literature on populism has seen a healthy growth, new questions have emerged about the role of emotions in populist rhetoric and that rhetoric's role in the path to political violence. Furthermore, the literature on populism in Europe has predominantly focused on the discourse or electoral success of far right political parties using quantitative analyses. This article presents a qualitative analysis of far left populism in Greece, focusing on the discourse of anarchists during the riots of December 2008. Through an in-depth examination of 38 communiqués, leaflets and posters produced by groups taking part in the riots, the ideological basis of far left extremism is dissected, illustrating the links and logical pathways between blame, victimhood and violent revenge. It is argued that the emerging narrative constitutes a coherent populist ideology aiming to appropriate power, but also a distinct populist identity based on victimhood and anger, both of which challenge the notion that populism is compatible with democracy.
