People installed governments to protect their individual rights.Traditionally it is said that the purpose of Government is to maintain security and public order. Hobbes said that people bow to Government because submission is preferable to anarchy. But that may not hold if the system starts letting down large chunks of society. Anarchy (or at least the common understanding of it) may seem preferable for such people, especially if they are strong and/or organized. So, IMHO there is an important role for Government in resolving the current crisis.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
