Come on user, individualism isn't a trash ideal. It's part of the reason the west succeeded over Russia. Collectivism isn't a natural state of being for people. We all look out for ourselves and those close to us, not the whole group.
Collectivism was a good idea in the Slav lands to elevate their whole nations from agrarian, sparsely populated feudal nations, to the industrial modern states they became. Communism did a lot of good in it's time.
But now, a socialist capitalist society will be the best society. Lots of good social support networks, highly regulated trade, and individualist societies that encourage the success of the self will be the best.
Scandinavian nations are just as capitalist as America, and they have such social support systems. Canada is demoing the idea of increasing it's social support with basic income trials.
And for that matter, most of the world won't need very many cars. But America, Canada, Australia, China, and Russia, will. Our nations are fucking massive, and building a reliable rail network and bus system to go to every single village, town, city, urban dwelling, would be far too expensive. They would never work, never get to places on time, and they would delay the citizenry far too much.
Plus, people who live in the country literally need to do one to two weeks of groceries at a time, often for their whole family. You can't carry that in your hands, with a backpack. You actually need a car, it's a necessity.
Don't even try to recommend forcing everyone to move to the city. Cities are fucking rotting trash heaps prone to disease outbreak. Check your history book. The populations of cities in the black plague were annihilated. Country dwelling residents were less effected. Poland, right in the center of the disease vector and rat migration routes due to the Mongols, was barely effected. Because it was a sparsely populated, poor shithole.
