Just because competition can be suppressed temporarily within a discrete system doesn't mean it has ceased to exist. Exactly why ideologies that demand the absence of competition will eventually be outcompeted from the outside.

The health of the current system is undenianly declining, absolutely. But competition is eternal and non-optional, so systems that seek to eliminate it are intrinsically doomed.
Well, competition has been going pretty strong for the last four billion years; time will tell.
Yes, exactly! For all the noxious effects of greed, it drives competition which drives evolution.
Even if a utopian communist/anarchist society were able to stabilize on its own, it would inevitably be overcome at some point in the future by a more competitive society that had martially evolved beyond the utopia's understanding.
Whether its right or wrong has no bearing on the entropy of it.
I just the other day edited a Steam config file with some wacky file extension by cracking it open in notepad. Bless plain text.
