In my area, there are groups and individuals who do great work trying to spread the gospel of liberty. They give their time and attention and walk miles and speak in front of groups of strangers, compile data and do research. One such research requested of the leg-workers was to draw a map for canvassing that essentially totally avoided any doorsteps that might be "ghetto." I heard all kinds of regrettable justifications for this, among them a great many subtly racist masturbatory remarks that I did not expect in the Liberty movement.
So I got to thinking about why one might draw a map around the ghetto when one really should be drawing maps TO the ghetto, as housing projects, rental-assistance communities, and general urban concentrations of citizens are easily canvassed, high-population density areas presently FILLED WITH PEOPLE who generally DO NOT VOTE! Instead, these well-meaning activists in my area fight tooth and nail over converting a small percent of the general population, from mainstream republican to libertarian/paulian republican. Such small numbers, with the same tired images and demographics. It does nothing to stir the great masses in the direction of liberty; it creates no new electorate, despite the fact that non-voters presently outnumber voters significantly.
And so I propose a means by which the campaign for liberty delivers its message to the ghetto.
haha sadly most start with, "those people..."
...don't want to be free.
...are too reliant on government
...are not educated
...hate republicans / believe in Obama
Fortune favors us in that none of that is true except in the misconceptions of privileged people, largely white and totally terrified of the ghetto. The same people who say, "black" in a whispered tone while checking over their shoulder. I argue that nothing great or significant or historic can emerge from such a timid people. I argue also that nothing positive for america or mankind can result from insulated layers of class cliques consolidating to defend their caste privileges (as the present liberty movement too often appears).
So Ima rip that list down point by point for yous.
"Those people don't want to be free."
It is funny to me that the same people who make this claim typically file permits to install a pool in their yard. When we are talking about the population of the ghetto (I count myself among this population), we are talking about a sub-culture of people raised from the earliest stages of their education to evade law enforcement and trade beyond the protection of regulations and agencies. When we have a problem with a kid in my neighborhood, nobody involves the authorities, because DYFS might smell weed and take your kids, or the officers on the scene might pop you for an outstanding warrant, or any other number of scenarios where the police are understood to be an enemy of your ability to peaceably interact among your people. The state as an enemy of your will is INTERNALIZED more effectively and from earlier ages in the ghetto. And we adapt our language and behavior to carry on with our will without regard to the opinions of the minions of corporate interests and the villains in charge. So we can laugh off claims that we "do not want to be free."
"Those people are too reliant on government."
So living in the ghetto entails a handout of some type. When the other choices are literal starvation or death from preventable diseases, I do not see anything immoral about this; we are not talking about a population of self-sufficient industrialists here with pools of liquid cash and capital goods to start businesses. We are talking about people descended from slaves and serfs from all corners of the earth who started the game with nothing; no networks and legacies or inheritance or investments. Why do people who are born into good school districts (government funded and apportioned, of course), with rapid-response zero-tolerance police patrols (largely dedicated to keeping people from the ghetto out of the neighborhood) believe that they can sit in judgment of people whose choice is public largesse or starvation? Do the free-market, anti-welfare people who decry food stamps and unemployment compete to ride a bus to walk a mile to work for minumum wage? Do they imagine that this pays rent and doctors and costs of living? Do you think that people who receive government assistance are just bursting with happiness to do so, and are perfectly comfortable being an imperial serf for the entirety of their life?
"Those people are not educated."
If we define education as a process of training in the american super-tribe's officially licensed jargon and collective illusion, yes, often enough, the ghetto has almost no education. Education, however, divorced from its newspeak connotation of state mandates, is a property of mankind. It is present in all people at all times in all settings. Perhaps kids have low test scores, or do not speak the queens english properly (the queen aint never been in camden- fuck the monarchy) but this does not mean that they are incapable of using their senses to gather data, or of applying this data to the heat of reason. I would like to see some mainstream Ron Paul mortgage-holding republican folk try and make a name for themselves in the contraband market; sell weed for 3 days, and then try and tell me that the people who naturally extend these networks and make the consumer black market possible are stupid. Talk to a kid in the street about the CIA's role in drug-trafficking, or the role of the Drug War in justifying the institutional incarceration marginalization of black men; they understand these things better at a younger age than the suburban kids with their high-speed internet connections. Our surrounding in the ghettoes are the consequence of government/corporate power games, and we are confronted daily with the evidence of this. It is hard for people in the ghetto NOT to understand, they just do not yet have the language in common with the R3volution to articulate it.
"Those people hate republicans / love Obama."
They do hate them some republicans, this is probably true, but that is because the community republicans DRAW MAPS AROUND THEM, leaving only media republicans to make an impression upon them. If their idea of Republican was "that dude who gave us all those DVDs about fluoride and the creation of AIDS," totally different associations.
So, we should be going into the ghettoes. Locate, penetrate, and replicate in centers of human networks. You see a group standing around in the lot, engage them. They will have 2 or 3 philosophers and talkers and then a group of followers, the same dynamic as our own movement and all human groupings. Talk to them, and you will find that they are quite educated regarding the abuses of the State. And their follower posse will go along with whatever seems to move their leaders in the group, just as in all human groupings. We are fortunate in that in the ghetto, these groups are visible, approachable, and geographically concentrated. I can spend one day on foot and talk to maybe 15-20 such groups, all of whom represent an additional number of individuals who go with the flow, as in any human grouping. Dozens and dozens and dozens of votes in every apartment village, all new votes to counter the entrenched suburban mainstream GOP dipshits.
I will follow with some tactical suggestions and points, but for now, fill yourselves with the theory, as my wife just returned from work, and I must log off.

Our message has universal appeal and we shouldn't sell it short, or assume it doesn't fly in some neighborhoods.
