Economic populism does not strip anyones civil rights. It promotes equality if anything.

You cant give me any reasonable downsides to your own economic philosophy?

I was just clarifying. You can see some downsides such as government over reach (which is a threat even under capitalist models)excessive regulations (in some cases though an extreme majority of regulations are written in blood so..). There will always be some downsides but the economic populist system of workers rights, worker protections, and fair wages & living conditions will always be better than the diminishing conditions of capitalism.
