Why are you pretending like FDR wasn't a communist himself? If it were between an anti interventionist commie vs a interventionist commie who would you chose?
If Huey long wasn't assassinated he would be elected and his economic policies would be relatively the same as FDR's whilst the main difference between him and FDR is that he was against America being involved in ww2. So what does it tell you about the motivation of the assassin? it means he wanted America to be involved in ww2.
Dude, Long was decomposing in the ground for two and a half YEARS before the Anschluss even happened. Hitler had only been chancellor for about 18 months when this assassination happened.
In 1935, most politicians in the world were ok with if not outright friendly to Hitler. Heck, in 1937, FDR's administration was formally apologizing to Germany after the mayor of NYC called Hitler a brown-shirted fanatic.
Plus, Long wasn't even in the Senate for 3 years before he got shot. It was another 4 years from his assassination to the invasion of Poland.
Was Long on the more isolationist side in 1935 when he got shot? Looks like it. Would he have stayed an isolationist over the next four years (or, 6 years if we go out to 1941 when FDR entered the war)? Who knows.
What you are saying is that a politician was murdered by someone to prevent him from maybe unseating a popular, sitting president in his own party to increase the chances of the US getting involved in a war which was still four years from even starting. You do know that, right? Loosen the tinfoil hat a bit.
Yeah, I disagree. The guy responsible for millions of deaths is clearly more hostile to human existence than the guy responsible for the 'thaw' and who put into motion all the changes that led to the peaceful end of communism - which the great George Kennan called the greatest peaceful revolution in human history.

I'm still waiting as to the source for your claim that Huey Long would have been 'elected'. For one, he was a Democrat. How often have incumbent presidents been defeated in the primary? Once? 1856?
The guy who won 48 states would not be defeated in a primary.
Not to mention that for all the benefits Long brought to his people, he was still a crook with a long and bad history that would easily destroy any political career outside of Louisiana (where he was relatively clean compared to the slop that was the norm).
Why are you pretending like FDR wasn't a communist himself?
Because he wasn't, and he was a rich aristocrat?
If Huey long wasn't assassinated he would be elected
You are sure?

Apparently, he could foretell the future, because in 1935 there was absolutely no indication that there would be a WW2. This was before the French did absolutely nothing in response to the Germans taking the Rhineland in 1936.
If it were as obvious as you claim, there would have been no appeasement (which was intended to prevent war) and the French would have sent in 4 battalions in 1936 and ended the Nazi regime (so said Hitler).
If FDR wasn't a communist then neither was Huey Long. The point is that they both had very leftist economic policies and there's a reason why the lefties love FDR

No, you don't understand. It's DA JOOS
They're behind everything. Even moving ops stair muffin. And rotting the food in their fridge. And them stubbing their toes in the morning.
Neither, because all communists are worthless, and the only good thing they've ever done is kill other communists.
Living under a Khrushchev was far more pleasant than living under Stalin.
And I'd rather breathe carbon monoxide than chlorine gas. They're both hostile to continued human existence if those are your only options.

Alternatively, that he hated communists. Or had a personal grudge. Or didn't even shoot long, which appears to be likely.
The cultist mindset is strong here. I can't believe the jews moved your stair muffin too. It's awful.
yeah surrreee....
keep telling yourself that

just like there's no indication that there's going to be war with Iran despite the hostily between America/israel and Iran for ages?
If it were as obvious as you claim, there would have been no appeasement (which was intended to prevent war) and the French would have sent in 4 battalions in 1936 and ended the Nazi regime (so said Hitler).

Nearly every communist leader is the pampered child of rich assholes.
