I have a discussion REQUEST: Truth about past "Governments" that failed.

[Sourdough]

Looking for short (Bullet Point) overview reports of conditions when past governments have failed, might have been economic collapse, bankrupt, currency worthless etc..

Thinking USSR or Argentina, maybe Venezuela, etc..

Really looking for accurate information (like reports by IMF of effect on people who lived there). Not looking for wild-*** guesses. If you actually lived through a collapse, would love to hear your experience, I you have "hearsay" or secondhand information, it is close to unless information. This thread is only about the people's experience, not about political cause or effect.

Please name other countries that failed in the last 100 years......But not failed because they lost a war.

Would a internal military coup d'état be part of your data base? Seems like that happens often enough.
The victor gets to write the history so yes it would almost take a first person account to get the real story......and that would be one persons story.
A friend has done some deep dives on the history of the civil war and the "indian" wars just after the civil war. He reads all the published mainstream data but considers it a score if he can find original diary's and first person letters and such.

We on this and other forums invest a lot of discussion is America going to have economic collapse, or catastrophic depression, or other massive nationwide civil "HELL".

If we don't have a few accurate historical accounts, we could easily be expecting something different. For example, the collapse of USSR, never seemed like a great hardship. Seemed like the people emerged far-far-far better off.

My interest is "how" did the collapse of a government directly affect the civilian population...??? Did it necessarily "SUCK" or slowly improve quality of life, maybe it rapidly high speed improved the quality of life for the civilian population.

I am guessing the collapse of USSR and its rebirth as Russia would be the most relevant.

In the case of the USSR the pain came before the fall. A joke from that period goes...

A fellow is standing in a bread line when he says to the guy behind him in line...

I can't take this anymore. I am going to go kill Gorbachev.

A while latter he returns and asks if he could have place in line back again. The guy still in line says...

I thought you were going to kill Gorbachev ?

He replied...

I did but that line was longer.
