Abstract
This paper presents the ideology scheme in order to locate the main points of attraction between populism and classical liberalism, and their strategic capacities for achieving of their political goals. The populist political strategy is consisting of authentic methods and techniques, for social change and seizure of political power. As oppose to populism, the strategic capacity of classical liberalism is quite limited and accompanied by the excessive scientific
and educational nature of its methodology. Regarding the combination of these ideologies, the newly emerged notion of populist liberalism is treated as a synthesis of classical liberalism ideology and populist political strategy. In the
end, it is concluded that populist liberalism could be regarded as a populist upgrade of classical liberalism in terms of techniques and methodologies for the achievement of its ideological goals
