Depending upon how terrible the fall is existing insitutions will adapt and take most of the property
Early tech or low tech it will be something that is nessesary for survival like water and food
Mid tech, some resource that is hard to reproduce, like gold or precious metals
And high tech, something intrinsicly useless.
If the insitutions dont survive then it would be a wild west free for all. Everyone grabbing what they can and the largest group probaly coming out ahead due to their numbers/material pool
Exactly, someone will have to make a common needed product and that will turn into the "currency"
Or just collectively known as bartering
Reminds me of one game I was working on solo. Idea was currency is reduced to batteries and fabrication gel.
SOmething very high tech. No currency or trading, everything was pure socialist.
System collapses, and too much dependency on the system meant many died out.
More than that but explaining the whole thing will take all day
Hope the above statements awnser your questions @Dunk Massive
If you are talking about a more pratical version then money usually exists in a society and the transition is more economic wrestling for resources than violent conflict
Unless your currency happens to go below the value of videogame currency
Or if that country end up in a situation where these two amounts of money are equal to each other
It may be the setting for the next purge movie
ah the almighty bolivar
(i assume)
Venezuela currency?
Yeap
So can I move to Venezuela and basically buy everyone and everything now they admit socialism has failed?
I can buy like 50k of bottlecaps from the local brewery before I go
I can afford about 6k cans of spaghetti, that would be better hey?
Remember that this country has been indoctrinated on anti western anti capitalist propaganda for decades
So you can definetly become the speghetti king for awhile
but eventually people may turn on you
Well it's better to love and lose than to never have loved at all.
The 'spaghetti king', I like the sound of that
Wait, he admits it?
--Discrolled.
Has Maduro really admitted socialism is a failure?
Apparently so
Better late than never.
Although to the dead, it was.
At least they had the experience of eating poo and sawdust biscuits, that's not something everyone gets the knowledge of
So what are they gonna do now?
I know an artist who lives there.
While other people joke about watching it all burn, I get anxiety.
I don't really understand how they get back to capitalism, above it was explained that it would just start over with commodities being bartered until some form of currency is adopted.. But I see even more people dying in that process
Like if one person grows rice, then everyone else either dies or sucks some good dick, because not everyone can just produce product to barter with
I feel like sending food to Venezuela on the interim may be warranted.
Unless I'm just armchairing hardcore.
