I never understood that comparison to be honest, i really can’t see any similarities between the two of them. To me it seems like a really weird anglo-saxon post ww2 academic invention.
I think it's definitely overstated, but I think there's something to it. It's not unassailable, but "Bonapartism" seems like a useful analytical concept.
No youre right bonapartism is an actual field of study, i actually find it quite useful to understand early 19th century western europe.
