We will always be ruled by violence in one way shape or form. Violence is the supreme authority.

I get it, but I would rather say that violence is authority at last resort. Supreme authority does not need violence to rule.

Is it violence or power?

To me, figures like Jesus, Siddhartha Gautama or Gandhi are archetypes of supreme authority personified. Violence is a huge but rough tool to enforce authority, and in some cases it fails.
