Socialist Felon William Lawrence Wants To ‘Redistribute All the Land and All the Money’
Socialist felon William Lawrence “called for a ‘world without borders‘ and to ‘redistribute all the land and all the money‘ to make up for America’s ‘evil deeds.'”
This is the same William Lawrence who “deleted hundreds of old social media posts in which he embraced police and prison abolition, called for nationalizing fossil-fuel companies to end their production, attacked moderate Democrats and argued for a ‘fundamental overhaul’ of the Constitution.”
“Socialist felon William Lawrence is a liberal lunatic who pushes the radical far-left’s most extreme policies. William Lawrence is unfit to serve in Congress.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon

William Lawrence, the Democratic nominee for a competitive House seat in Michigan, has called for a “world without borders” and to “redistribute all the land and all the money” to make up for America’s “evil deeds.”
The former Democratic Socialist—who left the party this summer—made the comments less than two years ago. He is now downplaying those and other extremist comments as just “thinking out loud on the internet.”
Lawrence, a cofounder of the confrontational environmentalist group the Sunrise Movement, which has called for a “climate revolution,” embraced the far-left positions on redistribution and open borders in an Oct. 22, 2024, episode of the Hegemonicon podcast he hosts for Convergence, a publication that describes itself as a “magazine for radical insights.”
Lawrence, in an episode on “Protecting Our Migrant Neighbors,” mused about the political tactics of left-wing reformers versus left-wing “revolutionaries,” siding decidedly with the latter.
“We are lacking for a framework that can make sense of how to be revolutionary in the sense of truly, truly wanting a world without borders and wanting to redistribute all the land and all the money,” he said.
Lawrence, a 36-year-old Hasan Piker superfan, added that it would be “just” for such a redistribution to occur because ongoing economic inequality is “the result of violence and evil deeds.”
Lawrence also envisioned a “humane society” in which “[we would] throw open the gates and welcome all of the migrants, the refugees, the asylum seekers from climate disaster and conflict all around the world.” He spoke of the “visions we hold on the left,” such as “the vision of a world without borders.”
