We accept society because there is an implicit guarantee that if we follow it's rules, we will see our needs taken care of. When one has exhausted every opportunity to work within society and they are still starving to death, what do they owe the laws of that society at that point?

Granted, people will probably jump to this conclusion before exhausting every opportunity available. They must still deal with the consequences for their choice, just or not.

What about in African and other poor nations, where over-competition leaves every one worse off. Perhaps you starving to death leaves everyone better off?

What do they owe the laws of that society at that point? That's an interesting question. I think the answer is more complicated than "nothing".
