For a history of agrarian radicalism in Texas check out the book Toward a Cooperative Commonwealth: The Transplanted Roots of Farmer-Labor Radicalism in Texas. History of German 48ers, Greenback Labor Party, Farmers' Alliance, Knights of Labor, Populist movement, Texas Socialist Party, Mexican revolutionaries, and the Nonpartisan League in Texas.
I remember reading a Donald Duck comic about a young Scrooge McDuck tearing down barbed wires when he was still a cowboy in the American Midwest, when I was in middle school back in China (where I grew up).
The Texan revolution and secession from the union to became the independent socialist republic of Texas, with a defence pact with Cuba and an oil cartel with Venezuela
Beautiful story and great work. Being from Texas there is a simplistic ignorance towards the past or materialism, so people don't undersand socialism being the call to give power back to the people. Their goals arent realized to reformed let alone transformed society. I have a friend who is homeless, a 60 year old black man, who was told he couldn't stay on his friends porch or he would be arrested for "tresspassing". "Loitering" People used to be outlaws but they all passed and we're picking up the pieces. We used to unite against fascism, glad your helping that
"Cattle" is derived from "chattel," the French term for movable property that was used to describe African slaves and women in the 1800's. It's worth considering, beyond the relations of capital, how reducing living beings to "livestock" has coincided with the destruction of almost six football fields of prairie in the United States every hour and is now responsible for 80% of deforestation. In fact, grazing cows on native lands was a purposeful strategy of cultural genocide in Northern California (in addition to indigenous people being directly enslaved on ranches). We should recognize all living beings as locked in the same struggle as humans against the ownership class

Fascinating story. Thanks to both of you.
Great story! I had no idea. Of course we never were taught any of that.
You spelled "indoctrinated" wrong.
The film Open Range, with Kevin Costner; touched on this desire for Free Ranges and land being boxed in.
Great stuff!!! And yes. Would that EVER make a good movie!!! Better than another Spider-Man reboot. 🤨
Has to be done... a good series

Got to say there are some fun alternate history thought experiments about what if Karl Marx had been allowed to migrate to Texas like he wanted.
