Image below: an image from the miniseries "Chernobyl" of a Soviet officer shaking hands with several people dressed up in protective suits, saying, "I serve the Soviet Union"

Note that this meme is meant to make fun of NIMBYs who spread the conspiracy theories about 15-minute cities being some evil communist plot to take away their freedom

Pretty easy to make a socialist argument for cars IMHO.

It'd go something like, "the only way to ensure the right to mobility is equally distributed is to ensure every individual has what equates to a bus station in their own home."

Using an ideology to support a desired outcome isn't as hard as it should be.
