Communal organizations and structures, so it goes, are fine, perhaps even advantageous, but only so far as they promote the welfare of the individual. The individual is independent. Communal organization, government and structure is only there to serve the good of the greatest possible number of independent units. Hence - whatever the majority wants is considered to be the right way. Never mind the fact that it happens also to be the electable way.
Social structure is the means.
The individual is the end. If the structure or group helps that most valued unit, the individual, attain his or her goals - great. If not - better find another structure or group. Or go it alone. I didn t get anything out of the sermon.
