Seizing Crops After a Collapse of Society

From time to time there is a theory that makes its rounds through the prepping community. This theory says if a collapse of society were to ever happen, the local sheriff could seize crops from farmers, then distribute those crops to the starving masses.

Believe it or not, we have an example from the 20th century of that exact event happening. The event was the Russian Famine of 1921- 1922. Even though there were numerous causes of the 1921-1933 famine, it was in part due to the seizing of grain in Russia under the Prodrazvyorstka policy of Vladimir Lenin.

With their crops seized, and no money, farmers had to leave their farms to find food. It is estimated around 5 million people starved to death in the famine.
