It's astounding that the same recurring words -- sometimes
"messianic," sometimes "strongman," sometimes "populist demagogue,"
sometimes a combination of all of them -- serves as invectives against
just about anyone to the left of Junichiro Koizumi outside the
English-speaking world.

Disgustingly, a good chunk of American liberals and leftists rely upon
exactly the same vocabulary.
