@walruslifestyle @MnemosyneSinger @rokejulianlockhart People need other people. (All people need other people. We're each of us pretty helpless on our own.) The food you need to live and the shelter you need to live are dependent on the agreement of other people that you should have them.
Society, any society, the idea of having a society, requires by the philosophical necessities some social construction of who should have those things. It need not be "do they have money?" but it must exist.
