And if there are structures with management, there is necessarily cooperation? The underlings who obey the managers (regardless of their motives for doing so) are "cooperating" in achieving the managers' ends?

Side definitional question: it is obvious that government officials manage the people; but, in a democracy, do the voters "manage" the elected officials?

Except in the very smallest groups, we cannot cooperate without creating structures and people that manage.
