Eh? Groups of hunters are more efficient than single hunters when hunting big game, there sure as hell weren't any lone hunters taking down elephants back in the days of yore. They are also more efficient when hunting herd animals. Your generalization is simply not true.

Certain tasks are better done by individuals. Other tasks are done better by small groups, and still others by big groups. Socialism denies the individual in favor of large groups, and ungoverned capitalism denies the large group in favor of the individual. Neither works well because of their limited understanding of human nature.
