““This is in response to Thatcher’s statement that “there’s no such thing as society.” So these progressives are going to show her! Naturally, they interpret her perfectly defensible statement in the most inane and uncharitable way possible. Why, we’ll show her there really is society, by helping our fellow man! But that was exactly her point. There is no such thing as an abstract, disembodied blob called “society.” All that exists are individuals, and it is up to those individuals – not “society” – to perform the great works of charity and civilization.””
