I think what Carmen may be speaking of is similar to 'The Fallacy of "Healthy" Wife-Beating'!!! However, a would be dictator can ruthlessly compete for power...and when achieved...demand that everyone cease competing...and cooperate fully...or else. Is this in the world's future? A violent overthrow of the world's governments...followed by peace and cooperation under a dictator? See how tricky this discussion can get? Those who are advocating non-competition are competing with those of us who think competition can be a 'healthy' thing! Stop competing with us. Your full cooperation is expected. Thank-you. How does that make you feel?
