Wikipedia:WikiProject Squatting

There are over one billion squatters worldwide and the phenomenon is under-represented on Wikipedia. Join WP:SQUAT to help write articles about squatters, squats and squatting in every country across the globe. Or drop a message on the talkpage about something else you'd like to see covered, input is welcome. This is just one of many ways to counter systemic bias on Wikipedia!

This does not belong in the "Libertarian" Catagory

A large part of the Libertarian Ideology is personal property rights, which squatting does not respect.

Whilst I would agree that squatting is not part of the make-up of modern right-wing libertarianism, historical left-wing libertarianism certainly disputed property rights, as discussed in our own article on libertarianism Mujinga (talk) 11:51, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
