I don't recall claiming self-sufficiency, nor do I think that the government = collapse of society as we know it. People can and will survive and thrive without government intervention one way or the other.
As far as how helpless people are, I think people, in general, can be suprisingly adaptable. Granted, if there was a sudden collapse of society as we know it, there would be an adjustment phase, but there would be survivors. Not everyone relies entirely on somebody else. I think I can testify to that with quite a bit of assurance.
And maybe I am missing the point of your post? I dunno.
I don't care, I'm still free.

WHOA there!
Babies die right quick w/out constant care.
Even a person who can: make their tools and weapons from stone/bone/wood/sinew, hunt their own game, dress their own skins, make their own clothes, find water, build/find shelter - learned it from somewhere.
Imagine (as a sort of science fiction) an adult having their mind completely erased. They don't remember language, they don't even remember how to walk. Then they get released naked into the wild. How long would they last? Imagine them being released naked into a group with NO laws? How long would they last?
EVERYONE depends on the specific things society gave them, gives them, and in general, allows them.
