I certainly agree that working together to find peaceful solutions is beneficial, but government is decidedly antithetical to that goal, and politics in the modern sense is about political power more than anything else. That is why we need to consider the psychological effects of power and the people lured by power. In addition, public choice economics has demonstrated the root problems in the presumptions of democracy. I would recommend looking into its explanations of everything from governmental waste to voter ignorance and apathy.
