What would a highly developed society do if one of it's members broke the boundaries and insisted upon doing so? He would have to be kicked out, wouldn't he? Wouldn't that mean that there has to be a balance between surrender and resistance? This world sure is confusing.

I imagine the society would judge the being as unfit to do so and not allow him entry, for the obvious reason to maintain peace and harmony.
There would be a very tricky dance between freedom and peace. Freedom is inherently chaotic, since freedom means that people are free to do what they want. The challenge is in allowing freedom without the harming of others.
The negative elite wish to create peace by force, and then the elite would be "more free" to do as they wish. In society now, you can see how well that's working out..
