“Movement.” “Alliance.” “Platform.” Add the term “Progressive” to these words, and you have the latest trend in politics. Anyone can be a “movement” today. We’ve witnessed the movement by alt-right Steve Bannon, across the center of politics all the way to so-called progressive movements by neo-Marxists such as Yanis Varoufakis, Sarah Wagenknecht or Jean-Luc Mélanchon.
Why are voters – and especially the media – so attracted to the latest “movement of the month?”
