You are forgetting that if competition is allowed to grow the monopoly "cooperatives" will not be able to have all those lobbyists, lawyers and public relations consultants. Also there would be an end to all those programs about the government buying milk for schoolkids and the FEMA warehouses being awash in unwanted and unneeded cheese.
These small operations were initially excluded because they would be too much trouble to deal with but that doesn't mean they should be allowed to grow to a point wherein they can actually bring competition to the marketplace.
"...and the FEMA warehouses being awash in unwanted and unneeded cheese."
I was raised on that 'Free Government Cheese.' We were dead-broke when I was a kid. It makes the best Mac-n-Cheese on the planet. :)
But you're right. The whole system is totally corrupted.
