1. Yes, cooperation is very important and why anarchism and libertarianism, which would end social cooperation, deny what it means to be human.

2. Democracy requires two things to succeed, and the lack of them explain why it is not currently succeeding as much as it needs to. One is the rule of law that creates a public sphere of free dialogue and participation, and two is that actual participation by people. Anarchism and libertarianism seek to abolish the rule of law, destroying the possibility of participatory democracy.

4. Dissent is not a goal or end state, and is only valuable and productive when practiced ethically and with purpose.

5, Gandhi believed in government and laws.
