Sure, but the recent turn to Populism, is that strange beast of elites pointing out the evils of some other class of elites to garner support. Bolsonaro, Babis, Borisov, Trump and others didn't come to power because they coopted the existing elite infrastructure, but because they tapped into discontent.
The story of populism has always been the same though.
One of the elites who is on the outs or doesnt have a path forward uses it as a tool to grab power for themselves, then uses that power to do what elites always do.
It's pretty much NEVER that one of the lower classes is the one that rise up and gain power via populism. Even Stalin would be "Elite" in that he went to Seminary.
