Socialism in the age of populism

Jaime J. Yambao

DID British Labor Party leader Jeremy Corbyn think that this time of resurgent populism was suitable for his brand of socialism to hold sway? If he did, it was a great delusion on his part. At the last year end election in the United Kingdom, Labor did not only lose, it was overwhelmingly rejected by people who used to vote Labor. One reason voters deserted Labor, according to surveys, was that under Mr. Corbyn’s leadership, the party had gone too far left.
