I really, really want Shoe to do a video on Huey P Long, so I can get a better grip on exactly what she means when she talks about him and calls herself 'A Huey P Long Socialist'.
Because there's alot of room for interpretation, there, when you start looking into the context of what Long was doing, and where, and why. Some people talk him up as a 'socialist', when said socialist ideals were crazy stuff like... building roads. Or having the State pay for... children's school books. Or building technical colleges.
Not exactly what people think about when hearing the term 'socialist'.
So, yeah. I'm not calling her an idiot, but I'd love to hear her talk more about all that.
I think it would be great, it would be partisan, but it would be great.
It's not like the current narrative of: "Huey Long was an American Fascist" ... despite not being part of the American Fascists, and explicitly attacking FDR from the Left... isn't explicitly partisan in and of itself.
Moreover, I feel like the Left has completely memory-holed the existence of Huey Long specifically because he's a non-Marxist, non-Communist, Populist Leftist that people would start actively wanting to create.
