Society is not going to collapse because any given item is only made in one factory. I would guess the reason for it only being made in one place is that there are laws to prevent others from making it or that one factory manufacturing them is more then enough to fill the consumer demand for the product.


Both of these will go out the window if society were to collapse as necessity will dictate the rules.


I don’t think society can collapse for any length of time, it can’t be un-invented. You can singe it some, but the human spirit won’t be crushed. Governments can, but who says we need our present government to have a society? If governments fall, something else will take it’s place, another government. Just as it did in Rome.

Rome may have fallen, but that was a government, not society.
