AB - Witnessing the populist explosion all over the world, this paper aims to theoretically and practically review the idea of radicalizing democratic movements under the banner of ‘left populism’ urged by Chantal Mouffe and her followers. In considering this political strategy, this paper takes the following question seriously: Can populism be bound by democratic norms? To answer this question, this paper develops a fourfold discussion; first, it critically delves into the theories of left populism, especially constructed by Mouffe and Ernesto Laclau; second, it checks the reality of populist movements all over the world: the dominance of (far) right wing populism; third, it takes into account the efficacy as well as the legitimacy of this strategy in the Korean context; and finally, it argues that the left populist strategy could degenerate into a politics of fragmentation paralyzing not only democratic norms but also democracies themselves.
