If someone has the power to remove the power structures, people will start organising themselves in power structures pretty damn quickly. And those who are organised enough that can accumulate more physical power will immediately start enforcing those structures on others. It always comes down to physical power, and although I would love to se a society where every single member follows the principles of non-violence, I can't even imagine a world without it.
