You are just very pessimistic and cinic person.

Governments DO HAVE to try to protect its citizens against internal and external threats. Otherwise people will "abandon" the government up to a certain point.

Case in point: When cartels dominated small towns in Mexico, people gathered in small armies (Auto defensas).

Same thing with Zapatistas.
