Abstract The rise of left-wing and right-wing leaders such as Alexis Tsipras, Pablol Iglesias, Bernie Saunders, Theresa May, Marine Le Pen and Donald Trump meant that authoritarian populism, once used to analyze Thatch’s political program of the 1980s, shrouded in Europe and United States again. The authoritarian populism in Europe and United States has distinct features of anti-elitism, authoritarianism and nativism. The root causes of its comeback have two kinds of explanation perspective, one is economic inequality, the other is cultural backlash. From these two perspectives, the challenges facing the liberal left-wing political parties in Europe and United States are fundamental. From the former, the liberal left-wing political parties no longer pay too much attention to economic inequality or make great efforts to the issue of inequality, have led some of their supporters to shift toward authoritarian populist parties that focus on economic issues, resulting in a breakup of liberal left-wing. From the latter, the unification of the liberal left-wing parties embracing the progressivism values and the "New Social Movement" inevitably lead to a rift between their own supportive forces.
