In the early 1900s, a Black preacher named William Wright (nicknamed The Anarchist) gained a following of 300 Black squatters called the “United Socialists” who occupied homes and refused to pay rent — disregarding the property laws in Oklahoma

Who were the United Socialists: The Black anarchist squatters you’ve never heard of

We should Squatupation and re Colonize and re Settle the South, it's our Inheritance Birthright and real Practical Applicable Tangible Reparations Solution as Papa Malcolm said Land is the only Source of wealth and the Core Cause of Revolutions

That's really interesting, I had never heard of William Wright or the United Socialists before. It's amazing to learn about the ways in which marginalized communities have resisted unjust property laws throughout history. Thank you for sharing this piece of history

I wanna ask “what’s stopping us from doing this now?” But the military. The military is stopping us. See Gaza. A message to all of the world.
