Abstract

S obzirom na jačanje hrvatskih populističkih stranaka u vremenu od posljednjih predsjedničkih izbora, ovaj rad analizira retoriku Ivana Vilibora Sinčića kao predsjednika Živog zida, ali i kao trenutno najočitijeg predstavnika lijevog populizma u Hrvatskoj. Analiza sadržaja, kojom sam se koristila pri utvrđivanju populističkih elemenata u retorici Ivana Vilibora Sinčića, ukazala je na dominaciju anti-elitističke retorike, učestalo korištenje ‘praznih izraza’ te izrazito jaku netrepeljivost prema financijskim elitama općenito. Dobiveni rezultati pokazuju da se Ivan Vilibor Sinčić populističkom retorikom ne služi samo u svrhu pridobivanja širih masa, što je karakteristično za mnoge mainstream političare za vrijeme izbornih kampanja, već populizam implementira kao ideologiju i svjetonazorski temelj njegove stranke. Korumpirane političke elite i bankarska nadklasa tako su glavni protivnici Živog zida i svih potlačenih i opljačkanih građana koji su takvima postali upravo radi njihove pohlepe. Živi zid je u takvoj situaciji preuzeo mesijansku ulogu spasitelja naroda koji se jedini bori protiv onoga što nagriza društvo zadnjih 20-ak godina.

Abstract (english)

Due to the strengthening of Croatian populist parties since the last presidential elections, this paper analyzes the rhetoric of Ivan Vilibor Sinčić as President of Human Wall, but also as the current most visible representative of left populism in Croatia. Content analysis, which I used for determining populist elements in the rhetoric of Ivan Vilibor Sinčić, pointed to the dominance of anti-elitist rhetoric, frequent use of 'empty signifiers' and extremely strong intolerance towards financial elites in general. The results show that Ivan Vilibor Sinčić doesn’t use populist rhetoric only for obtaining the masses, which is typical of many mainstream politicians during election campaigns, but populism is implemented as an ideology and world-view of his party. Corrupted political elites and banking superclass are the main opponents of the Human Wall and all the oppressed and robbed citizens who have become such people just because of their greed. In such a situation, Human Wall took a messianic role of savior of the nation, fighting against everything that erodes society in the last 20 years.
