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..
It's supposed to make your brain hurt because such a society is way far away from present thought.
In an evolved society, I suspect that others would know what the person did and effectively shun them from participating in society like normal. That way, everyone is operating in free will - there just needs to be much greater awareness. One could steal money, but what if there was no way to spend it? (as an extreme example assuming there is money at that point) That's just a guess. Common Law would kind of be like training wheels to get there.
In today's world, the worst offenders are allowed the ability to have greater freedom to do what they want, and that's the problem we have now..
