Cooperative learning is about learning how to learn and becoming innovative, we need to work together to succeed in an information education and economy. This is not socialism and it hopefully avoids some of the greed and selfishness of extreme individualism. The fact is we are all members of a society (must be evil because it has the first four letters of socialism! you hilbillies!). Avoid myopia and look at countries that have far better education outcomes - Finland, Australia. Have Fun!
How about LEARNING? Isn't that the main reason for being in school...? Instead of finding some quotes that support a theory, maybe you should actually evaluate it. ;)
John Dewey was teaching all this 100 years ago. Problem is, he was using these techniques to prepare kids for soclalism. Second problem is, this thing tends to take over. So school is all about the group, not at all about the person. Using some cooperative learning makes sense. But making it into a dogma seems destructive.

Collaborative learning that is well managed can be a very effective method. I thought the video was well made.

Behind the pretty colors and the pretty music lies a sinister undercurrent - socialism. Can its handmaiden - national socialism - lie far behind?

You got that right - I think these ideas were popular in Nazi Germany.
