Violence, like many other acts we make, is simply a means to achiveve something.
Once there is nothing left to be "taken", or if the possibility of retribution far outweighs the results of a violent act then maybe violence will subside.
But I don't think it will disappear.
Left alone, some people even commit violent acts on themselves or inanimate objects.
In one of the senses of its use it is a natural expression of rage or frustration.
Scenario:
If left in a spacious room, where you could request all manner of food and drink and have access to vast libraries of information and entertainment, do you think you could spend the rest of your life alone without ever committing one violent act? Again, this also would depend on your definition of a violent act. For this scenario consider it to be verbal or physical - an assault on anything animate or inanimate.
I don't think anyone could say that having everything will get rid of violence as a human trait.
The triggers for violent acts are as much a part of us as sadness, happiness, jealousy and other emotions.
