Huey Long was either a fascist or a progressive liberal depending on who you ask. Which is correct?
>>18667318Both? Take a look at Mussolini's 1919 original Fascist program. Apart from being very nationalistic, which, at the time, could still be seen as a left-wing French Revolution concept, specially in Garibaldi's Italy, it was very progressive and "liberal" in the modern sense
>>18667318Neither. He was just your bog standard hilariously-corrupt-yet-charismatic machine politician.
>>18667318He was a populist liberal with authoritarian tendencies. Nothing about him screams fascist at all
>>18667318He was based.
Fascism is liberalism so yes.
>>18667318His close followers like Gerald L. K. Smith went on to become members of the anti-war Fascist-sympathizing movement. You can grow your conclusion from that.
>>18667318>Huey Long was either a fascist or a progressive liberalfor a long time I've only seen his name, not his photo, and based on that name I thought he was some kind of southern chinese or perhaps vietnamese.
