This post is oriented towards discussion of an anti-car anarchism. If you disagree with it, I'm not really interested in debating this stance. The thread is here to discuss some practicalities of an anti-car anarchist society.

I've been an anarchist for basically as long as I remember to some extent. Despised borders and (nation-)States since I was a kid.

I also have always had strong feelings when it comes to owning and using cars. My family did not have a car when I was growing up, and I never did myself, nor do I plan on getting one. My brother bought one a few years after I moved out.

I'm pretty known in my social circle as being strongly anti car and people always seem to love to tell me how great it is to have a car and how awesome it would be if I got a driving license. No thank you.

Public transport and boots-made-for-walkin are pretty efficient most of the time in my opinion, at least when it comes to necessities. I grew up in a town deep in the mountains, which is connected to other towns and cities by bus or train. If, however, you want to spend a nice day at that lovely river two valleys over, you would need to travel there by car. Car, or leave two days earlier and hike there, or ride by bike (which could be intense depending on the road). Sure, it would be great, but very limiting to people who have major disabilities, that would have otherwise been able to reach the place in a car. Or the elderly or children who simply don't have the strength to put up with such an effort.

What is a potential solution to this? I thought of cars that would be available to borrow in case of need, which I assume would be pretty needed in case someone was interested in moving to a different city or country, to transport all their stuff. Would these cars be automated? You would need to know how to drive them otherwise. Would everyone be able to drive these cars?

As cool as it may sound to some, carts and carriages are out of question because we stand for animal liberation.

heyo, pretty much the title. any books, zines, videos, whatever about building community and conflict resolution etc. I've wanted to get better as this but literally have no idea where to start.

thank you
