Would you not say his policies and policy proposals were extreme left wing even borderline in the same realm with Soviet Russia? That’s why I think he was a net negative not only on Louisiana but America as a whole. Him not gaining larger influence was a good thing for humanity. Maybe you like left wing extremism as a political model but surely you understand many don’t

There’s a difference between what actually transpired and what could have transpired had his life not been cut short. My views are based upon his actual accomplishments, not where he falls within the political spectrum. He sure ruffled a lot of feathers by challenging long-standing political machine (who were owned by the corporations, Standard Oil for example).
Which of his enacted policies set Louisiana back? Not a loaded question, I’m genuinely curious. By no means am I anywhere near an expert in Long, just read the T Harry Williams book on him a few years ago.
