You can't remove the bias in favour of aggression, but you can decouple aggression and oppression. You need to train the non-predators to get aggressive in defending one another. Look at elephants. They're herbivores. They're not out there attacking other species to exploit them. But no predator, not even lions, fucks with elephants. Because if you fuck with elephants, they'll kick your ass.

Interesting point, based on this I could argue that military might (elephant power) is necessary for peace, if not used to coerce others

a country that builds nuclear power to protect itself but has a no first aggression rule could be a parallel to the elephants

Si vis pacem, para bellum.

That's Latin for "if you want peace, prepare for war". It was true 2000 years ago and it's true now. If you want to be a pacifist, you should learn a martial art. If you want a peaceful government, you should learn to use a gun.
