“…In fact, the very opposite might happen. A common reaction to this attitude is the argument in the division of public opinion, which affects disenfranchised groups to a greater degree than others (Mounk 2018; Wojcieszak and Garrett 2018). In other words, polarization of public opinion endangers democracy, and when democracy is at risk, those who suffer the most are the disenfranchised groups.…”

There has been a growing interest within analytic philosophy in addressing political and social issues, which has been referred to as the "political turn" in the discipline. The aim of this paper is twofold. First, it discusses the very characterization of the political turn. In particular, it introduces the definition proposed by Bordonaba-Plou, Fernández-Castro, and Torices, suggests that we should not consider the turn a form of activism, and explores an additional benefit of the ideal/nonideal distinction for characterizing the turn. Second, it addresses the concern of what attitude we should take in the face of the different sensitivities we might have with respect to what constitutes an injustice. Which philosophical works should count as part of the political turn? The paper explores three different attitudes toward this dilemma, and favors what it calls the revisionist attitude, which emphasizes the fact that our perception of injustice is subject to error.

“…Otherwise, the definition would remain formal or empty; regressive movements also claim to solve problems and thereby gain many supporters. 8 See Mounk (2018). For the opposite view, see Müller (2021).…”

“…2. Italy (political "voice" and anti-party sentiment): The M5S immediately institutionalized the protest against the "casta", i.e., the establishment, formed a government with the League of Salvini after the elections of 2018 and another government with the Democratic Party since September 2019; M5S proposed forms of direct participation and not always coherent policies to fight poverty (in particular, citizenship income) (Morlino et al, 2020, chapter 2 for further details).…”

“…The growth of inequality seems to constitute (Morlino et al 2020, chapter 2) a structural aspect of advanced capitalist societies, when there is an economic crisis with its specificities-intensity, propagation, duration. A direct consequence is the emergence and success of protest movements and neo-populist or, in any case, new parties.…”

What happens when, after a resounding electoral victory, populist parties and their leadersbecome prime ministers or ministers in governments or participate in the decision-makingprocess? To reply to such a question, first, the authors propose a simple distinction betweentwo neo-populisms and then control if there is adaptive institutional responsiveness with apossible consequent improvement of social rights and lowering of inequalities. The mainconclusion suggested by the empirical analysis is that revendicative and redistributiveleaders and parties are more likely to succeed in economically weaker countries. However,the cost of such a success is the political irresponsibility that may bring the democraticregime to bankruptcy.
