Competition is far from the only way to allocate scarce resources. If you make one box of mac and cheese, do you make your kids fight over who gets what share?

...what? I don't know what you're getting at.

People share food all the time at work -- if there's a cake at an office party, you don't fight over who gets what. People share more important things at work, too, like a saw at a construction site or a printer in an office. Competion has its uses, but it's often destructive and wasteful.

Why not just say what you mean?

We're talking about allocting scarce resources via cooperation, not competition. Whether you could make every organization completely flat (no managers) is tangential.
I see what you're getting at, though, and yes, of course we can allocate scarce resources by cooperation at a global scale. It already happens even in capitalist countries on issues of tremendous importance, see the negotiations around how water from the Colorado River is allocated.
Education. Same way we all learned not to kinfe fight people at the mall.

Nah, I don't knife fight people in the mall because that shit sucks and I have been educated about it. It isn't because society will deny me a Cinnabon if I do.
