Shortages imposed by an economic collapse will make the COVD-19 shortages, which lasted only a few months, look like a happy memory. I doubt an economic collapse will be isolated in the U.S. We are the train engine that pulls the world’s economy, and if the United States runs off the rails, much of the world will follow. This is why you read of currencies with inflation rates in the thousands of percent per year, and sometimes per month. Store 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water per person per day.

Buy weapons, both guns and impact weapons that do not require ammunition and can serve a dual purpose. With Stalinism at an end, so too was the mass terror.

This is when things get really ugly and governments look for excuses to arrest people simply because they need forced labor. In Cuba they still have political prisoners, there is no free press, and most Cubans live on $20 a day. Socialism is the world's most evil serial killer... responsible for more than 100 MILLION deaths in the last century. And since that time, we have observed no serious change in Cuba: It’s a life of scrounging around for basics, improvising repairs, and fear of falling buildings because materials necessary for repair are unavailable, with all technology stuck in time (pre-socialism).

Lenin’s first attempt to implement socialism came with full nationalization of industry, work mandates, controls on trade, pillaging of agricultural lands and produce, rationing and centralized distribution of everything, and a full ban on private enterprise. As Ayn Rand pointed out in Atlas Shrugged, when there is no incentive to work, people won’t. Socialism is a drug that gives you a high for a few years followed by a long, slow collapse until you are on par with the crack whore that has no teeth, no self-respect, and no life.
