No. Competition on any economic or societal level is damaging over time. Even meaningless "friendly" competitions are prone to fostering hostility. Competition creates an "other," which at its worst devolves into genocidal behavior, at its best into domineering hierarchies. Opposition to competition in favor of cooperation isn't seeking protection, it's pursuing liberation.

I pointed to Sears specifically because it refuted your claim that competition always produces the best results. There are other examples, but Sears is the clearest and most obvious.
