    they also actually just prefer the social atomism of modern neoliberal society, they would also just prefer a more robust welfare system to be a part of it.

    Not necessarily saying you’re wrong, but I’m more in line with what you want if I’m reading you right and I always thought most people here were too. The atomized neoliberal society with just a better welfare system would pretty much be like Nordic socdem states which I thought most people here agree suck. I want communism

      What I'm getting at is that everyone on here still articulates their ideas about everything from questions about social equality, to the existential question of "what is a human", in the exact same terms as contemporary liberal capitalist society.

      Which is that the standard/ideal is the construction of a world which is populated by "Free & Autonomous Individuals" who don't have any real social obligations to anybody else, and who can't ask anything of anybody around them without it being considered an unjust imposition.

      That's what I mean when I say that I think that most people here actually just do prefer the social atomism of modern neoliberal society, to anything else, regardless of their own claims to the contrary.
