Huey Long can be described as a social democrat…without the “democrat” part. During his terms as Governor and Senator of Louisiana, Huey Long did anything to get his way. And I mean ANYTHING. To the point where he has been described as an American dictator. However, he generally wants good for the people with his Share Our Wealth program, which advocates for massive federal spending, a wealth tax, and wealth redistribution. He believes it’s the only defense America’s got against syndicalists.
