Francisco Nemenzo contends that the merger resulted in a "massive influx" of SPP peasant members into the PKP, which crucially tipped the ideological balance within the Party in favor of "millenarian-populism" at the expense of Marxism. This review article takes a critical look at how Nemenzo's portrayal of the Socialist Party is fashioned by his "from below" perspective and the "inventory of symptoms" he identifies as the hallmark of "millenarian-populism".
