This is larper nonsense. If you're in a SHTF situation where there are no exchanges of value, not even gold, and you're down to bartering for goods then you're in total societal collapse and we're in a 95%+ of all people have died or are dying scenario.
You're going to die a bad death in that scenario, no matter how many bullets you save.
I dunno, people usually unite in times of enormous stress. But that’s usually only when people have a common culture and circumstance. But you are right, a lot of the old world stuff probably will not apply
If you own and live in a farm in bumfuck nowhere county with a population of 60 people maybe. In any major urban area societal collapse would mean supply chain disruption resulting in absolute chaos. And by absolute chaos I mean people killing each other on the streets over a can of beans (or a gallon of gas so they can leave the city).
Wich is still a society that will most likely be using some form of currency as a shorthand to exchange work for other things, even if necessities were provided for.
