If we want to learn a little bit more about Trump’s path to the Presidency, we can look to recent history. It’s not actually totally unprecedented.
Spain, going through its own very tough economic times, has vaulted the populist-left Podemos to the fore, out of nowhere at all. Podemos is a bunch of political outsiders with a Marxist approach to campaigning–and they adopted this style very deliberately. They have a lot to teach us about what might become the new politics of the 21st century.
We’re joined by author, campaign adviser, and VisualPolitik director Fonseca Porras to learn more about Podemos and discuss the parallels with Trump in this particularly exciting episode!
