Say some time in the 1970s, Switzerland experiences a communist revolution (doesn't matter how) leading to the revolutionaries (at least temporarily) seizing both the Swiss Treasury and the major banks in Geneva and Zurich (Marxist expropriation by the book).

Now, apart from the politicial/military reaction by NATO, what effects would such actions have on the global financial market?
As this was the beginning of the age of Fiat Currency and given the dominance of Swiss banking at the time, I think it could be apocalyptic for the global financial markets, but what do you think?
