Government is necessary because men can be greedy corrupt asshats. The more asshattery there is, the more government the people themselves will demand in order to maintain order. Tyranny is 99.9% of the time preceded by degradation of morals and culture.
So I would argue it is morals that must be upheld and enforced by the culture and force of law. Deviants SHOULD be ostracized, bullied, and shamed.
If people are good, you wouldn't need a government. If people are evil, you can't have a government because all the evil people are attracted to power and will take over your government.
Hence the self-destructive loop when moral degradation begins; the people turn to that which will bring greater moral degradation until absolute tyranny. The tyranny typically finds a way to obliterate itself in time, but the damage is done; those who survive pick up the pieces and the cycles starts over again. The longer moral degradation can be avoided, and the more people directly fight the degradation instead of playing into the cycle, the longer a society/government/etc. will be sustained.
