Bernie Sanders, a notable left-wing populist.

Left-wing populism are populist tendencies which base their rhetoric around traditionally left-wing topics and appeals to the oppressed segments of the working class. Left-wing populism is counter to Marxism in that it often bases itself on non-class rhetoric which denies the need for socialist revolution and a proletarian dictatorship, often seeking to work solely within the framework of bourgeois democracy.
