The term "right-wing populism" is often used pejoratively by liberals to smear or discredit conservatives who hold the above positions. Thus, conservatives often avoid using the term to describe their beliefs. [[Marxist]]s define right-wing populism as "proto-fascist".<ref>''Radical right-wing populism in Western Europe'', by H G Betz, p 4, (1994).

Although often associated with conservatism, right-wing populism takes many anti-conservative positions. For instance, they reject the principles of fiscal conservatism and small government, often expressing support for domestic social programs such as welfare, in addition to viewing the government as a crucial tool to solve societal problems (a liberal worldview). Some key right-wing populist ideals, such as nativism, are derived from early 20th century [[progressivism]].<ref>Syrios, Andrew (July 22, 2014).
