DESCRIPTION:Come along on a walking tour that explores San Francisco social movement 
 history, and which accuses private ownership of land values in America as 
 being racist in effect and in fact. The dispossession of native peoples of 
 their native habitat, the reduction to chattel of coerced transportation of 
 Africans to the Americas, and the enduring custom of requiring some human 
 beings to pay land rent to a class of human beings called land owners is 
 baldly elitist, definitively classist, and constructively 
 racist.\n\nThrough an all-too-brief survey of several social 
 movements--Black Liberation, LGBTQ Liberation, US post WW2 cultural 
 liberation, the Mormon hegira, and Occupy Wall Street-- the walk moves 
 towards a thesis that land value privatization constitutes the central 
 place in identity politics dynamics.\n\nIn three blocks, progressing from 
 China Town to the Financial District, the walk reaches climax in revisiting 
 San Francisco's 1879 proposal to socialize all land values, honor labor by 
 eliminating taxes on earned income, and disconnect class, race or other 
 identity segmentation of society from land value ownership.\n\nFREE, but 
 distressing to socialists, libertarians, Democrats, Republicans, and 
 everyone else. :-)\n
