Biological existentialism

Is a cell an organism's way of propagating more organisms or is an organism a cell's way of propagating more cells?

Logically, a cell exists purely to create more of itself and an organism is just the method it utilizes to exploit a particular ecological niche.Cells vs. Organisms You could argue that the organism as a whole has more control over its cells (via processes such as apoptosis) and there isn't such a thing as cellular independance, but that's precisely what cancer is.

That being said, it's likely that emotions, "sentient thought" and other touted concepts like "love (in all forms)" are purely the manifestations or relics of biological necessity. Love serves a function in that it provides psychological stability (and dependancy), plus it increases the chance of you or your gene's continued survival. Some arguments you can make from this standpoint:

All emotions are entirely likely to be the product/result of biological necessity - and possess no innate profound significance.

Purpose beyond procreation and survival is an illusion. The meaning of life is sex.

Is everyone fundamentally a walking bag of meat and hormones?

Survival of the fittest hasn't ended with teamwork, it only means that the fittest individual is the one who works in a team. It's no different than all the cells in your body co-operating as a single organism.

Morality is completely subjective, as I may think it good that I robbed you of all your money, while you would obviously think it evil. I believe we have desires that in order to be satisfied may be viewed as evil by other people.

I think it is very bad to use something you accept is unsound as a base for ideals. A house needs a good foundation, as they say. You say an ultimate good and evil exist, but then don't justify it. A successful person might agree to die to save his children.

A populous governing itself is called anarchism. I think if you look at Greece, Rome, or whatever you will find that the majority have always been exploited by the minority. But I don't particularly want to argue this because we seem to believe in contradictory facts, and it will turn into a shouting match.
