Yes, the violence of our current system creates violence in people. Some of it is misdirected anger at the state of their lives, some of it is because violence is all they have been taught. Trauma changes people and sometimes for worse. Trauma can be healed, but that is extremely hard to do in our current system.

When I say that people being bellicose by nature is a fiction made up by elites, I mean that they have a vested interest in manifesting this belief in those they oppress and maintaining those conditions that reward violence.

In an anarchist system, beating up the pizza delivery person would still have consequences, and probably much more effective consequences than there are now. They could be blacklisted for all delivery services in the community, they could have the rest of the pizza workers show up and beat them up, or some other solution that works for that community. There would be no corporate pressure to just move on or retain a customer. And no corporate pressure from other delivery companies to deliver to this person anyway.
