      Conservatives do want a social structure to exist (a fiercely hierarchical, competitive, unequal social structure, but still).

      Liberals, particularly Neoliberals, are the ones who explicitly want a purely individualist, atomized society whether they realize it or not.

      So when Conservatives are taught that Liberalism and Neoliberalism are the same as Socialism and Communism, it causes intense brain worms, and they start blaming socialism for the atomization of capitalist subjects.
