Longism

Longism is an economically left-wing, culturally center, statist AuthLeft ideology. Longism name, ideology, and personality are based on Huey Long, governor and senator from Louisiana in the 1930s. While believing in Capitalism, Longism wants to heavily regulate the markets with his "Share Our Wealth" plan, which involved taxing the rich to fund social programs for free education, old-age pensions, public works, and universal basic income.

What sets him apart from Social Democracy and other moderate AuthLeft ideologies is that he believes that the use of corruption and intimidation to undermine opponents are valid ways to achieve reform.

History

Longism was established by Huey P. Long in Louisiana from the time he was elected governor in 1928 and continuing until about 1960.

Personality and Behaviour

Despite the crown, Longism is not a monarchist. He wears the crown due to his belief that every man should be a king through social programs.
Frequently denies being socialist, but admits to voting for leftist economic policies all the time as per the real Huey Long.
Hates LibRight ideologies with a burning passion, usually tolerates others if they aren't getting in his way.
Will often make speeches about his childhood or early career and how they relate to current politics and his beliefs.
Loves football and gin fizzes (specifically the New Orleans/Ramos gin fizz)
Gets along great with his Distributism
Loves the Hearts of Iron IV mod Kaiserreich because Huey Long has a major presence in the mod

Add eyes.
