I am not talking about "collectivism." I am talking about the good of the society, which is, after all, made up of individuals. Just as individuals form a society. Now if you want to argue that society is an illusion, then I give up.

What I am saying is that ever since homo sapiens lived in hunting gathering groups (the beginning of human time in that sense), there have always been conflicts between the good of the individul (as he saw it) and the overall good of the group (as the group saw it).

IMO, such conflicts are inherent in the social nature of individual human existence.
