>>2514627
fucking gommie

>>2514627

w-who is he about to punch?

>>2514744
The conniving Roosevelt administration.

>>2514744
the left

>>2514627
He built bridges roads schools hospitals ect.
He clamped down of corruption (not his own mind you)
He fought Standard Oil (exxon) and won

If you were poor he helped you more than any politician Louisiana ever saw
If you were rich or a politician he shit on your parade

>>2514627
Closeted Christian socialist if I ever saw one.

>>2515432
>socialist
Distributism is not socialism.

>>2515433
True, his policies were socdem at best, which is why I said closeted since the amount of rheotic he placed on his religion is significant. Tbh he could have another Eugene Debs if he read some theory

>>2515443
>wants everyone to have their own private property
>socdem
He's almost a textbook distributist. He's not socdem. He's not Christian socialist. He's not socialist at all, least of all closeted. You're worming your wishes into his rhetoric and it's simply not the case.

>>2515453
Socdem still maintains a capitalistic economy dumbass. Nor did I say he was one but that he could have been one

>Socdem still maintains a capitalistic economy dumbass
Except they're pro-Union whereas Long was not. Long was also anti-labor reform. Socdems are the exact opposite of this. Literally fuck off.

>Nor did I say he was one
>Closeted Christian socialist if I ever saw one
Can't have both lad

>>2515478
Socdem are not necessarily pro union especially if they want a top down approach. Most leftists prefer a bottom up hence are pro union. Keep in mind social democrats went against pro-union working class in the past

>idk what the term closeted means
Could have just said man

>>2515487
If you call someone a closeted x, that implies they are x. Huey Long used brute force against those who share x's values, therefore, Huey Long was not x. Either way, socialists, no matter their standing, are pro-labor reform. Long vetoed every single labor reform bill he got his hands on. If that's socdem you need to inform every socdem that has ever existed. Again, fuck off. Last (you) you're getting.

I don't agree with all his socialist shit but he was pretty amazing, one of the best speakers of all time.

Closeted simply means he was X but just didn't know it. This may not be the word's accurate meaning but that I was the message I was trying to get across

>socdems are anti-labour reform
Wew lad I am susprised that you are susprised by this. Read up on who killed Rosa Luxemberg

>>2514627
>I hear middle class people saying how he was a villain

>>2514627
