In response to "No. Populism involves a certain "take things back from those people!" kind of message, be it "America," the means of production in Latin American" by con_carne

That's fair enough - he's not populist in the way that, say, Hugo Chavez, was populist. Or like the Tea Party or OWS are populist.
