Not really. "Society" is a nebulous thing, the notion of which comes
from those who don't want to take responsibility for themselves, their
extended family and their neighbours and who would prefer to abdicate
that responsibility. It is the stuff of social engineering where the
potential of the individual is subjugated to the concept of "society"
for no clear reason other than the convenience of control by those who
would seek to control others.

Which is essentially what Mrs. T was actually saying in her oft
misinterpreted speech containing the quote "there is no such thing as
society"...

Quite. Often misquoted as well.
