72 🔮#FutureOfPopulism by @pandaget "Magufuli and his fellow leaders did not present themselves as the sole legitimate representatives of a popular will, but as the best aristocratic guardians of popular interests. He articulated an elitist plebeianism".
🔮 #FutureOfPopulism 72 Some ideologies look like populism, but aren’t 🇹🇿 Late Tanzanian president #Magufuli, for example, saw 'the leaders' not as embodiments of the people’s will, but guardians of their interests @pandaget calls this elitist plebeianism https://t.co/AArZEq0n4d
