Talk:Poporanism

I cannot even begin to count the number of tags this article presently needs. It currently looks like a bad joke. Dahn 08:19, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

What's the justification for the existence of this article? That there exists some sources in Romanian that uses this term is not justifiable. Before clicking on history, I thought this article was created by Dahn. --Cei Trei (talk) 19:41, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

These frivolous comments by a stalking sockpuppet can be easily discounted, not by my alleged "preferences", but simply because one can easily cite 20 academic sources referring to Poporanism, under its Romanian name, in foreign languages, and another 20 referring to it as "Romanian populism" and variations. Now of course, in assessing something, relevancy is always contextual and subjective. For instance, to the above user, Stephen III of Moldavia is a Homeric figure of universal importance; but to most of the world, he is either entirely irrelevant, or some nuisance once encountered by the Poles and Ottomans in their attempt to massacre each other directly. A man equal in importance to whatever negus it was that built the fort in Gondar. The same with Poporanism: the current is at most relevant to the quaint history of how Marxism led back to mainstream nationalism, and to some (alas, just some) core liberal theses. Does someone interested in, say, Stephen III, in sheep anatomy, or in playing Subbuteo care, or indeed have to care, about this subject? No and no. But should s/he find an interest, at some point we, the wikipedia community, will presumably have a well developed article ready to cater to her/his one-time curiosity. Will that make Poporanism more important, and do we imagine that it is utterly important for having spent time developing the text? Again, no. Dahn (talk) 12:33, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

As an aside: why would someone campaigning for theories of Moldavian superiority (to the point of getting himself blocked on wikipedia) feel the need to associate Poporanism with me, rather than with one of its core concepts: Moldavian superiority (an idea peddled by Ibrăileanu, Sadoveanu, Costenco), or at least Moldavian distinctiveness (this was possibly the last cultural movement to form itself in Moldavia)? Strange man, this Anittas. Dahn (talk) 17:43, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Opposition to socialism?

Are we sure it wasn't merely opposition to Marxism because Poporanism sounds pretty socialist to me. Charles Essie (talk) 17:47, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
