Yeah, difference in scale, not intent.
There's a related thought in Plato's Republic. Socrates observes that bands of robbers must make use of justice to accomplish anything:
"[D]o you think a city or an army, robbers or thieves, or any other group that jointly undertakes something, in an unjust manner, would be able to accomplish anything if they were unjust towards one another?
Of course not, said he.
But what if they were not unjust to one another? Wouldn’t they be more likely to accomplish something?
Very much so.
Because injustice, Thrasymachus, presumably causes factions, hatred, and conflict among them, while justice brings like-mindedness and friendship."
Plato, Republic 351C-D
