In a civilized society it is the governments burden and obligation to ensure scarce resources are shared responsibly. When this process is disrupted and not quickly remedied you will inevitably discover that people take matters into their hands to get what they need. They might commit white collar crimes or engage in destructive or violent robberies and protests. They might also roll out the guillotines and collect some scalps to remind society at large that the most dangerous people are those who’ve had everything robbed of them. When entire regions and communities are allowed to reach this point war is almost inevitable.
