"Competition" and "Cooperation" in the Era of Clowns on Parade
An overplayed and deceptive issue concocted by the left for some time now has been the "competition vs. Cooperation" meme. The implication of the concept being that there are dubious forces of greedy selfish cruelty ("competition") up against the noble goodness of "sharing and cooperation."
One person's selfish "competition" is another's vitality and striving for excellence. One person's "cooperation" is another's phony imposed obedience.
Voluntary cooperation and personal striving are both natural qualities that emerge in free, diverse, and dynamic societies. They are both positive attributes and to imagine they are somehow polarized or at war with each other is a fantasy that only a leftist could love. Strive, cooperate, and prosper...and let the Jacobins stew in their bile-laced dogma.
