The Populist Party of America should not be confused with the Populist Party of the United States, which was a right-wing reactionary movement founded by former white supremicists, which peaked in size and influence during the early 1980s. The Populist Party of America, contrarily, is a coalition of libertarian activists, ranging in political ideology from the left to the center-right, who are working to enact democratic reforms to the American sociopolitical structure.
