ABSTRACT
This chapter starts out from the experience of the Indignados movement (15-M) in Spain and the institutionalizing of Podemos (We Can) as a political party in order to develop strategies for doing politics after the defeat of the conventional notion of politics. The author reflects on the possibility of a leftist populism that is not founded on Laclau’s hypothesis of an empty reference but rather on practices aimed at translating the demands of movements and social struggles in search of a political alignment marked by the resilience of the shared causes that have been the source of those demands and struggles.
