Ritalin and Upper Limits. On the European Populism and the voluntary new obedience in parts of the society

Essay from the year 2018 in the subject Politics - Miscellaneous, grade: 2, University of Vienna (Politikwissenschaft), language: English, abstract: This book deals with two forms of today's populism - the Western European stubborn-child form, and the more serious show-it-all pendant that turns its head very keenly towards autocracy. Is there a way to understand right-wing populism? Are there differences between the two mentioned sorts and if so, what are the aims of them? And is it possible that populist regimes, in some way, are not even too wrong in what they proclaim? 'Ritalin and Upper Limits. On European Populism and the voluntary new obedience in parts of the society.' tries to answer questions like these and to open up the readers' minds towards the way of thinking of populist leaders and their followers; the author tried his best to do it with as little judgement of any direction as possible and hopes he succeeded and could offer you a diverting and educating read. NOTE: 'Ritalin and Upper Limits. On the European Populism and the voluntary new obedience in parts of the society.' is the author's English translation of his work 'Ritalin & Obergrenze. Über den europäischen Populismus und den freiwilligen neuen Gehorsam in Teilen der Gesellschaft'. The sources used and named in the appendix are mostly in German, if you want further reading, try to find them in your preferred language.
