You have to be born privileged enough to have free time to get good at doodling
Which in and of itself is a political statement on the current state of things.
Not to mention that there’s many forms of art, not just doodling.
A great example is the tunnel I drive though on my way home from work, it’s full of graffiti that’s constantly changing. The city keeps painting it over every now and then and I always love to see the art return. What will be the first thing? Will it be a willie? A political message about current events? A confession of love? A proclamation of hate?
Is it good art? I’d say yes. Is it like Rembrandt or DaVinci? Hell no.
Is it successful art? Depends on how you define success.
I would say that disenfranchised people have the potential of making more valuable art that anyone in the upper class, simply because the have more to tell about the world they are living in. Sadly you are correct that art is a lot about your connections, your name, and finances. Which is also why I dislike most art. I wish it wasn’t this way.

Being a good artist is just luck anyway.
