/leftypol/ - Leftist Politically Incorrect

This is a thread more aimed at Westeroids, since those societies are heavily car-focused nowadays.
The role of the proliferation from those polluting metal coffins after WW2 to further enrich oil oligarchs and the motorisation corporations is hopefully obvious. They influenced the politics in those places so much that societies, which have used different means of transport for centuries and more efficient ones like trains, that they transformed the entire cities to accommodate cars. Whenever there is any infrastructure project, it's for cars first and everything else second at best. After a sufficient amount has been built and is expensively maintained, cars can be advertised as the "ultimate" symbol of freedom™, since the consumer has supposedly the "freedoms" to go anywhere they like – where there are roads that is. It is purposfully omitted that without any proper roads, most cars couldn't move around at all. It is never mentioned that cars are extremely heavily regulated, in comparison to other means of transport, through specific traffic rules like speed limits and where you are even allowed to drive through at all, so that there wouldn't be constant accidents and chaos. This "freedom" for cars always comes at the expense at everyone, who doesn't use cars like for example pedestrians, who used to have all the space between buildings, but now are forced to snake around narrow often overcrowded sidewalks, since cars need a lot of space to navigate properly, so that they need very wide ways. There are plenty of before and after images of city streets before and after cars got introduced. It's shocking. Other means of transport are either left untouched or even intentionally underfunded, so that people are indirectly forced to buy more metal boxes. The shining example is, how the German government treats its Deutsche Bahn, the Krauts' national railway company.
Cars' factor on climate change and environmental destruction for roads is obvious, so I won't dwell on it. However, the air- and noise pollution along with loss of space has gotten so bad in some cities in Europe that a slow policy shift has started, to get cars out of city centers. Barcelona's "super blocks" are an example of this or some cities banning cars altogether in certain areas such as historic city centres.

Even when communists rule nothing in Europe right now, you should support any such policies for the aforementioned reasons, but also an additional one, which is always overlooked:
Public uprisings!
Cars are a remnant from the gigantic bourgeois war industry of the last major wars. The Autobahn, which's primary function was to move Wehrmacht vehicles around the country, were repurposed for cars, but still can be quickly used again for their original goal. Reducing such infrastructere would indirectly affect the efficiency the military can move around to say crush a workers' uprising. Housing blocks need a certain distance between eachother so that vehicles can easily pass through. Setting up barricades gets more difficult to outright impossible with wide roads. Since the modern police increasingly rely on vehicles (like water cannons) to quell unrest, it would make it more difficult for them to operate, when there are no straight big roads in cities anymore. I think, if there will be any proletarian uprisings in the West, they will be in cities.
