The Freedom Part’s rise in Austria is not an anomaly. Across the political landscape of Western Europe, the right-wing upstarts have created a term “galloping populism.” It refers to movements like the Sweden Democrats, the National Front in France, the Party for Freedom in the Netherlands, and other far right movement calling for their once open countries to close up and turn inward. But the insurgency is not limited to Europe. All the rising rightist parties are aligned with Republican Donald Trump in what they encourage voters to fear: migrants taking your jobs, Muslim threatening your culture and security, political correctness threatening your ability to speak your mind, and, above all, entrenched elites selling you out in the service of the wealthy and well-connected. 

Let’s take a look at what’s happening in Eastern and Western Europe to try to understand what’s behind this populist revolt. In the early 1990’s the world saw a spike in nationalism – the cause was fairly clear: the end of the Cold war had allowed many long suppressed national desires to violently erupt, often ethnic lines. So what’s behind the current tumult? No single political upheaval has shaken the world – and by any measures, people are generally richer, healthier, better educated and living in less violent societies than ever before. 

But the world today is also far more divided between rich and poor than it was a quarter of a century ago. The 10 wealthiest people on the planet collectively hold $500bn, more than most countries produce in a year, according to Forbes. There’s also an increased sense that the very rich buy political influence, perhaps more than ever. Increased migration has revealed how many in the West remain hostile to outsiders – from Syrian refugees to Polish or Honduran immigrants. And social media and information technology have accelerated our ability to form closed, like-minded groups – and to get very angry at one another in public without apparent consequence. As defined, populism – ideas intended to give ordinary people what they want – seems beneficent.
