Everything is unfolding exactly as the communists planned. Remember they also sat on a 400k monthly jump in food stamps until just after election day. They will stress the system until it collapses, then the final phase of the communist revolution will be ushered in, violently and quickly.
IMO, that's the flaw in the plan. If they think they can muster a layabout army, they're as stupid as college professors.
We will revert to the state of nature; people freely buying and selling; the free market.
The layabout army will loot until they run into some 2nd Amendment supporters.
