I dont think so.

Ive said that we will all have to convert to sone kind of ww2 economy but it wont go that far.

During Ww2, the state took on much more power in the econony but property rights and wealth remained mostly intact. Too many powerful people have too much to lose. You you can see the pending state takeover as more about saving capitalism than communism.

Having said that, if things get really bad then there might be rationing or aspects of a pre capitalist economy such as bartering.
