Like it or not, there are people with more power that dictate structure and an order of things.

That didn't work out too well for the French monarchy, did it?

It's more accurate to say that the average person doesn't desire a power structure but merely tolerates it so long as it provides them with some benefit. The moment those structures become oppressive, they get violently torn down.

Its been pretty oppressive for a while now - c'mon America, wake up...
