“Just reaffirmed the need for economical populism to win electoral victories”

So basically a tucker Carlson-esque grift to lure the rubes in. So much for moving Magas to the left.

    It's fascist. Seems to me like adding -oid to something goes back to race science and general fascist essentialism.

    It echoes the language that was used to categorize groups of people as if they were a "race" or had some innate/biological part that made them that way. the suffix -oid implies a resemblance to something that came before (so there is some sense of heredity or something genetic/biological), but it's an incomplete or degenerated resemblance, words with this kind of suffix seem to be an even more insulting way of describing a person or group : implying they are part of an essentialised stereotypical group that's degenerating and is inferior.
