If the world goes to such shit that we need to rely on ham radio, I don’t think licenses will be all that important at that point. Learning to use the equipment and protocols for effective transmission though are certainly important.
The licenses are for the before. You can set up district-wide low powered intranets for practice.
Most radio operators have to teach themselves or locate a mentor, making amateur radio very much a meritocracy at the lower levels. Those that forget this and have been in for a long time and are playing games with politics in the ARRL tend to be leftists.
