being a car owner and communist makes you a fucking hypocrite. What part of abolish private property do you not understand? I support public transportation, motor mouths have no place on this site or in the leftist community in general, we are here to educate, not promote an obsolete technology because doing otherwise will hurt the feefees of the white people living in suburbs. My goal is clear, I want to destroy your cars, if you stand against that goal you stand against humanity. Be a decent human being a relocate to a city, take public transport, walk. If your unwilling to do that your not a fucking comrade.

      Honestly, I think this bit peaked (in terms of entertainment value) at the sentence "empty the countryside".

        I think my favorite comment from that was "wow, i can't believe I'm hearing the grow food argument on this website of all places."

        Yeah, leftists are always complaining about people growing food

    Cars are personal property, though.

      I won't simmer down until every last personal automobile is destroyed, including the battery cars. (though I'll save those for last)

          Unlike the people who made /c/cars I understand the complexities of private vehicles. First off no car should be driven alone, second no vehicle should run on gasoline, third the use of cars should only be for the construction of public transportation infrastructure. I'm okay with commandeering some Teslas to send workers out to build railways along the existing highway system. (though a lot of the highway system should just be outright abandoned)

                      Any liberation of us prisons is going to have to come from an outside force. Like sure arm the prisoners with guns but the prisoners themselves aren't capable of doing it alone.

                          I'm all for liberating oppressed people but maybe Americans should sit out liberating other countries, just out of precedence.

                              That doesn't mean american and rest of the world leftists shouldn't communicate and coordinate and provide material support but like, we belieb in u when it involves killing people, we don't want to touch that. You can touch usa politicians and other people that have to die though, American leftists should just leave other movements alone politically speaking to grow on their own.

    "just relocate to a city" is like saying just buy a house, or just don't be homeless. Don't make enough money? Just get a better job sweaty. Things are more complicated than that.

    Do you know how difficult, expensive and time consuming moving is? What if all your friends and family live somewhere only accessible by car? Just give up on seeing them?

    You can say "oh well we need to protest for better public transportation." Sure, I agree. But people still need to get to work in the mean time, because as we are all aware, you have to pay to be alive in this world.

    Obviously, the world would be a lot better without cars. I don't want to own a car. I would love to take the train everywhere. But if you live in 95% of the US, you need one to do pretty much everything. I walked, biked and skateboarded in a town that had close to zero public transportation for most of my life. Sometimes 3-4 hours or longer. It is not practical because this goddamn country was designed for drivers, not walkers or bikers. Do I wish that wasn't the case? Certainly. But I think there are a ton of other things to prioritize before destroying most peoples only means of transport. Lets get food on everyone's plate first. Lets get the homeless off the street.

    This honestly feels like a badfaith take, but I figured I would respond earnestly. But anyways, good luck

      That's why we need to protest for public transportation, protests way bigger than the George Floyd protests. It would require every leftist.

          If you can't radicalize your fellow students and workers into creating a public transportation system, then maybe you should leave? If the kulaks running the system can't even send you a bus then what's the point of playing their game?

                  Roller skating is also an acceptable method of transportation, little about me, my friend working at a roller rink got hit by a car while roller skating home and fucking died.
