Haha, you're right. Any notion of private property will be subsumed by the needs of the collective. We already saw that in the early days of this pandemic where it was unacceptable to keep your masks if you had them.

Stockpiling goose down will mean that the tribe will decide that the old man gets the goose down. And the doctor.

Maybe, or maybe not. If they have guns and you don't, it'll be up to them to decide.

And if one tribe has guns, and the other doesn't, guess who gets more of the goose down and who is tasked with locating more goose down?

You make a good point that I grafted the "lone holdout" connotation onto your plain statement about being armed. All other things being equal then yes the armed contingent can have the stuff belonging to the unarmed contingent
