Would anyone try the TWD/FTWD kind of things and start communities? If so, please explain how you would do it.

I think currency would be a down the road thing. I think Most would want to band together for the food and security in the early stages. No one knows for sure how things would play out though. I do think that mankind has an aggressive tendency and protecting your resources would probably be a big part of any successful group.I think if SHTF and government fallen, I would try the TWD/FTWD theme and have different communities. I would maybe add more to the community aspect by creating a common form of currency to use between the communities to buy goods. Maybe assign people to certain jobs and they get paid a certain amount per day for that job. What do you guys think?
I didn’t mean right at the beginning. Lol I’m talking more along the lines of when the dust settles.I think currency would be a down the road thing.

"to invade the United States would prove most difficult because behind every blade of grass is an American with a rifle." Fleet admiral Yamamoto in a letter to Ryoichi Sasakawa
I can think of a gazillion scenarios for SHTF, but I doubt a foreign invasion....unless it was by subterfuge from inside our government.I really don't know because it would depend on so many things. I think the two main options would be hide or fight. This is a big country and there are a lot of areas that are "the middle of now where" that might be good places to be because it wouldn't be worth going after you. The other option would be to reenact "Red Dawn," I guess and start our own insurgency. I'm trying to imagine how we get into this scenario. An invasion of a country this size is not going to be a quick thing; lots of people will die on both sides before we lose the war. Also, what political or other entity is the de facto government (holds the monopoly on the "legitimate" use of violence) and is thus the target of our insurgent attacks? Or is it basically a free-for-all of some sort with a lot of groups participating in the invasion, and maybe dividing up the country into various areas controlled by different armies, so there are a lot of little "governments"? I do think it's a good idea to consider various possibilities and what some of the responses could be.
I agree. But the original post on this thread asked about this scenario, so I was considering possibilities.I can think of a gazillion scenarios for SHTF, but I doubt a foreign invasion....unless it was by subterfuge from inside our government.
Isoroku Yamamoto (Commander in Chief of the Imperial Navy during WWII) said: "If we invade the American mainland....there will be a rifle behind every blade of grass."
Our enemies know this. In the U.S., everybody and their mother owns a gun. So many people own multiple guns, that even people without guns will get guns.
The only flaw in my reasoning that I can see is that there seem to be a lot more sheeple than I remember from the past, so perhaps our collective apathy is factored into the invasion plans.
