IF the SHTF what would the govt provide?

I fear the only thing TPTB will give us in any serious event will be black uniforms, tear gas, pepper spray, kettling, "this is an illegal gathering clear the area", "papers please", and all the other implements of control a failing system enforces on its people. I look to Historical precedents as confirmation that ultimately the only thing TPTB have is violence to bend you to their will. They will do anything to preserve their power and position, including shooting you dead in the streets if they have to. Remember the Peterloo massacre, Tolpuddle martyrs, Peasants revolt?, nothing changes.
