What was his endgame?

>commie bias
>alt history about le ebin prussia running the world

CNT-FAL used to win the Spanish Civil war like 9 times out of ten in old versions of KR for HoI4. the second American Civil War and the Second Weltkreig are balanced in both DH and HoI4 though, it's like a 40/25/25 split in favor of US for ACA and like a 50/50 split for France/Germany.

The real question though is restore the French Empire with Nappy 4 or The Republic? no Bourbons allowed.

Can't go wrong with uncle Bourbon, tbqh.
Just wish they'd get that medi-catholic faction working finally.

Medi catholic is scrapped, bro.

If his last book is anything to go by it would make the New Deal look like Reaganomics. The platform was the following:

1.No person would be allowed to accumulate a personal net worth of more than 300 times the average family fortune, which would limit personal assets to between $5 million and $8 million. A graduated capital levy tax would be assessed on all persons with a net worth exceeding $1 million.

2.Annual incomes would be limited to $1 million and inheritances would be capped at $5.1 million.

3.Every family was to be furnished with a homestead allowance of not less than one-third the average family wealth of the country. Every family was to be guaranteed an annual family income of at least $2,000 to $2,500, or not less than one-third of the average annual family income in the United States. Yearly income, however, cannot exceed more than 300 times the size of the average family income.

4.An old-age pension would be made available for all persons over 60.

5.To balance agricultural production, the government would preserve/store surplus goods, abolishing the practice of destroying surplus food and other necessities due to lack of purchasing power.

6.Veterans would be paid what they were owed (a pension and healthcare benefits).

7.Free education and training for all students to have equal opportunities in all schools, colleges, universities, and other institutions for training in the professions and vocations of life.

8.The raising of revenue and taxes for the support of this program was to come from the reduction of swollen fortunes from the top, as well as for the support of public works to give employment whenever there may be any slackening necessary in private enterprise.

Tldr. As close to socialism you can get without taking commie or nazi methods

>making America the richest nation in the world

I think the emphasis was more on equality and opportunity than total wealth

> America would not be the corrupt
I'm a Hueyboo but that's not true corruption was a big part of his style and just as it was a necessity in Louisiana so to would it be federally given the opposition he faced.

>If his true actions in Louisiana are anything to go on.

Avoiding racebaiting despite it not being politically expedient?

The man had a very progressive platform and one that was met with constant treachery and attack even by those who were supposedly on his side.

Good example of this is the Lt Governor Paul Cyr. After getting elected he did a 180 and if Huey even left the state for a day he would declare himself acting governor and start repealing legislation.

> As close to socialism you can get without taking commie or nazi methods
Tfw when a man who is called a member of far right and a fascist was actually a progressive socialist

> I'm a Hueyboo but that's not true corruption was a big part of his style and just as it was a necessity in Louisiana so to would it be federally given the opposition he faced.
> implying that Huey wouldn't create anti corruption that he would use to destroy his opponents
Huey didn't die for this

Yeah but in exchange, EVERY MAN A KING

*anti corruption laws

>unlike his contemporaries on the left who never lived a day in poverty
His contemporaries were working class folks getting arrested and purged ala the IWW. You can make that claims for the New Left but this is the era of the Second Red Scare

>If he ran the country anywhere close to how he ran his state, America would not be the corrupt
Confirmed for not knowing shit about Long.

Such a shame he was one jail time away from being a socialist

No commie bias but simple fact that when US civil war breaks out CSA holds most industrialised part of US. They have to balance that shit somehow.

>Controls the Rust Belt before it became the Rust Belt
I find it far more surprising there isn't much CSA sympathizers helping the CSA throughout USA in the game desu

Developers said something about adding partisans like KKK in midwest for AUS and commies in the South to improve R E A L I S M

Why would the KKK support Long?

Look at ministers of AUS, father Coughlin, Pelly and so on. KKK might not like ideas of Huey but they do like his allies.

>KKK
>liking Coughlin

AUS is supposed to use their superior generals and starting troops to conquer Chicago and Detroit before the CSA can spam out real troops; it's just that the AI and most players can't do that

letting Kuhn have his daycare

To make America not have shitty, backward welfare system and to stop the rich getting richer. Shame he got shot

Isn't it made by Tankies? i was sure i heard it was

FDR was the Hillary Clinton of the 1930s.

>To balance agricultural production, the government would preserve/store surplus goods, abolishing the practice of destroying surplus food and other necessities due to lack of purchasing power
Herbert Hoover actually tried that with the 1929 Agricultural Marketing Act. It didn't work cause farmers kept deliberately overproducing and using up the government's budget for it too quickly since they could just sell to the government rather than the market and the government wasn't selling enough of the surplus products to break even. It's why there's production limits since the Agricultural New Deal programs of the 30s. Long probably wanted more money for such a program since they only used half a billion dollars as their budget.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agricultural_Marketing_Act_of_1929

Some kind of hardcore social democracy that sought to upend economic, racial, and regional hierarchies.

What Long sought to do probably would have needed a full social revolution. National politicians, oil companies, local elites, bankers, and the Ku Klux Klan all wanted to destroy him. Had he not been shot, it seems unlikely that one politician alone could defeat this coalition. He would have needed to develop well-trained mass cadres of supporters in the fashion of Soeharto, Baqr Sidqi, and Joesph Stalin to accomplish his goals. This would have demanded, however, a full rejection of parliamentary procedure.

His language about Washington, DC suggested he was something of a secessionist or at least a Southern autonomist, desiring to separate a progressive South under his control from the federal government to some extent.

Huey Long was allied with militant trade unions and wanted them to be stronger

The dev team is 2/3 radical leftists and 1/3 weird nationalists from non Anglo countries

I know a couple Devs, most are leftcoms or ancoms but there's one unironic Maoist

>KKK
>coughlin
Are you legit retarded?

Could he have actually become POTUS?

>tfw there are people so dumb that they 1. think Coughlin was some sort of raging white supremacist, and 2. don't actually know what the KKK is other than racist

Pretty sure the racism escalated only from the second and third iterations of KKK.
They were always mainly oriented by anti-catholicism, though.

and for both of those reasons it's retarded for Charles Coughlin to have anything to do with them, because he was a Catholic that wasn't racist beyond disliking atheist Jews

I know, m8. I agree with you.

This is incredibly populist and would inevitably fail once everyone is equally poor.

Fuck, I really thought they liked him, but the only thing I knew about him was that he was a priest who didn't like jews.

So what was his audience?

Wait I thought that KKK was created by people who were angry about the outcome of the civil war. Wouldn't that mean that they were more focused on hating blacks and the federal government rather than catholics?

Southerners loved their niggers so much they went to war to keep them.
Why would they be anti-black?

Don't tell me that what they're saying on the sub reddit isn't just roleplay

> civil war wasn't about slavery or state rights but about love
This is the truth that the globalists are hiding from us

There being too many goods shouldn't be a problem in any system that actually makes sense. The government should have just bought the grain in enough goods (rather than cash) to keep the farm afloat, rather than in money.

>You can make that claims for the New Left but this is the era of the Second Red Scare
You could at least get your periods correctly, Long died a decade before second red scare even remotely begun.

My bad I meant the First one. The one where IWW leaders and Debs got fucked over hard.

>they went to war to keep them
Worse, they even wanted to introduce them to places that had no blacks at that point, like Kansas and all the territories. If the Southcucks had their way, everything from Seattle to Boston would look like New Orleans.

Are Dixies the hapless romantics of the New World?

Sort of. Read "Road to Disunion" from Freehling.
>southerners think of blacks as their own children
>they give them their names, they care about them, they literally call them "son" or "daughter" (calling them "boy" also stems from this)
>after the niggers are freed they start massacring their former masters and the masters are genuinely shocked, they view it as patricide
Southerners are unironic cucks with an innate desire to raise black children.

>Not assassinating him before the civil war breaks out

> making a compromise with Reed
Syndies get out, REEEE

That's the good thing, the economy gets back up to speed and then I betray that sack of shit by invading Britain and France and Mexico if they're still filthy reds.

every state in America get 2 statues to represent their state located in the capital building, and Huey Long is one of Louisianas. What are your states?

>You will never fight against an oppressive federal government trying to take away your delicious brown slavefu away from you and force her into an uncertain world full of hardship and misery.

I just want to make quadroons behind my cousin-wifes back god damn it.

>Lewis Cass and Gerald Ford
Seriously? Lame

The basic premise of the mod is the idea that Communism magically appears in the US, England, and France after WW1, and succeeds in a violent revolution. Which in and of itself is not really believable, except maybe for France. The suspension of disbelief required to imagine, for example, the British suddenly rising up and discarding their thousand-year parliamentary tradition in favor of Stalinism or anarcho-socialism or whatever, is massive and throws away and credibility the timeline might have.

And besides, the timeline is basically a giant circlejerk of video game logic. Three way civil wars everywhere, commies in literally every country, even those not harmed in WW1, for no conceivable reason other than "we need a syndie path for x country", etc. China especially is just ridiculous. The timeline makes a lot of stupid choices for the sake of gameplay, which for a game mod is fine, but makes the timeline itself silly.

This path is only good because AUS doesn't have any way of liberalisation once the civil war is over. Huey was an egoistic social democrat, so it makes no sense for him to say "well absolutist dictatorship it is then", he should create a leftist government with a very strong executive branch.

how long until leftypol tears down that statue?

The original instance of the KKK was very swiftly annihilated by the US army pretty quickly after its founding. The 2nd iteration came about because of Birth of a Nation lionizing them.

Yea, I know. I'm just saying it's weird to say that their main enemy were Catholics.

> leftypol tears down a statue of anti racist socialist
They destroyed statue of Lincoln for being racist so I wouldn't be surprised if they were stupid enough to tear down Huey.

leftists are the pawns of wall street, don't act surprised if they act stupid

>Robert R. Livingston
>George Clinton
Once again, this state is horribly misrepresented.

They were racist, but they were mostly oriented against Republican carpetbaggers from the North. A lot of wealthy northern Republicans were settling down south and taking over political offices as well as business and law enforcement, this was a much bigger problem for the KKK than just some niggers.

Fun fact, a lot of the famous Wild West feuds have the same origin. Many outlaws (Jesse James, Clayton gang) were ex-Confederates while lawmen and enterpreneurs like Wyatt Earp were Unionists and Republicans.

Wow, this is shit.

antifa liberals probably took the sinclair libelpill but the actual leftypol board admires Huey

leftypol hates all white people

There should be no reason why he should be a right wing authoritarian but KR doesn't make sense at all.

>William Jennings Bryan and Ulysses S. Grant
Alternatively, switch out one of these two with either Neil Armstrong or a joint statue of the Wright brothers.

>The basic premise of the mod is the idea that Communism magically appears in the US, England, and France after WW1, and succeeds in a violent revolution.

Italy rather than the US, and there certainly were historical antecedents for some of it, like how Britain's revolution in KR is derived from a way more charged up 1926 TUC General Strike, or the Biennio Rosso getting way more violent in Italy.

Don't get me wrong, they totally exaggerated things to justify the scenario and they're stupid as hell to claim they base their mod in "realism", but there's at least a kernel of something they built on.

I'm completely okay with Grant desu.

I can understand him being paternal autocrat during civil war. But once CSA and US are destroyed and Pelly and other enemies inside of the party are dead, he should start implementing his ideas.

They should do the same thing they did in Fengtiang, with different factions trying to push their own agenda, with autocrats starting as the strongest faction and slowly losing power over time.

Should add "Bellwether state" for Ohio in that list tbqh.

>Not adding in "qt valley" for Ohio

All the people I've met who came from Ohio were pricks but then again they're filthy carpetbaggers.

Not really. The country was founded by protestants and catholics were seen as an entity that took orders from a foreign power.

I'm not saying they weren't anti Catholic, I just don't think that they've seen Catholics as a bigger problem than North and the individuals of African origin.

Examples?

What the fuck, you want to just arbitrarily give random goods to every farmer in the country? That's fucking stupid and inefficient.

It's not even that hard to win the Second Weltkreig as Germany. I didn't even bother with an air force, and I won without even losing too much manpower and it was done in like 2 years.

>If he ran the country anywhere close to how he ran his state, America would not be the corrupt, highly entrenched, overly-bureaucratic mess of a system it is today
>If [Huey Long] ran the country anywhere close to how he ran his state, America would not be corrupt
>Huey Long
>Would not be corrupt

I love the guy, but come on.

Huey Long was nepotistic, but corrupt? The oil corporations and banks hated him.

How does that make him not corrupt?

>Virginia is represented by Lee

Maybe we shouldn't tell them about that particular collection.

Roger Sherman and John Trumbull, which is pretty awesome. Sherman is the most criminally underrated founding father. Trumbull could honestly be swapped out, I wish Colt was there.

>tfw we don't live in the timeline of Huey Long's America
fug

I won't deny that it was for a good cause, but Long was the perfect example of a Party Machine Politician

>mplying that Huey wouldn't create anti corruption that he would use to destroy his opponents

President =/= Emperor one of the key reason Huey was able to beat the moneyed interests in his home state was because of his inovative use of corruption

The establishment has access to all the money and can afford the best and most lawyers and crush you legally. As president he would not only have to deal with other democrats like he did previously but also all of the Republican party that isnt as powerless as it was in Louisiana

>Huey Long was nepotistic, but corrupt?

-Civil servants had to pay a % of their wages to him personally
-He would have police on patrol deliver his newspapers
-He made people who worked for him in political roles write and sign undated letters of resignations.
-Picked the leaders of the Universities he funded
-Had a running mate who was effectively a puppet.
-Would fire people from the civil service if they or their family members opposed him politically
-Would only give government contracts to companies that ran advertisments in his newspaper

There are devs who role play as syndicalists, just go there and you'll see.

Stop ruining my dreams of god emperor Huey.

But if every man is a king, what do the kings become?

Every man.

Delet, Cuckeye

I know that feel more than you know. Im not even American yet I still feel that his deaths was one of the greatest tragedies of the past 500 years.
