Depends on the level of collapse and what part of the USA you're standing in.

If everyone wakes up tomorrow and the USD is worthless and they can't buy food, good luck with your theory of peace and love. It will probably turn into chaos pretty quick until the local authorities and National Guard step in. Americans are generally pussies these days so I doubt if Joe and Clara from Indiana are going to get out of line, but in the cities where you already have a high crime rate, I wouldn't want to be there.
