There can be cooperation among individuals. The synergy of corporations is dependent upon that. When we are talking about larger quantities of people cooperation has to be inversely proportional to size. Competition has to become an ever greater factor as a function of number. At the largest size, the international community, there can be no cooperation. There can only be competition. Cooperation at the large scale ends up in collusion, secrets, mistrust. So rather than go there at all, accept that many individuals can't speak with one voice or think with one mind. It is highly desirable to retain diversity. It is failure and death to pursue policies which seek cooperation between groups. The groups have to slug it out and find in the struggle the equilibrium. This is called dialectic materialism and it is actually equivalent to a free market process. Groups can cooperate on the rules of struggle.
