But cells can't fucking exist on their own, while an individual can
live without a society,  Cells have no independent wills or desires
while an individual does.  Cells can't decide to form or dissolve an
organism to suit best their own individual needs, but multiple
individuals can.
Society as an organism isn't a new analogy, but that doesn't make it
any less lousy.  That analogy is what lets those who choose to
consider themselves the "brains" of society sacrifice individuals in
the name of "the good of the whole".   Just like an animal might chew
it's own leg off when caught in a trap, Leaders can sacrifice those
portions of society that hold them back from where they want to go.  
Society as an organism is anti-human, statist and more than a little
bit psychotic.
To the degree that people form social structures, those structures
should exist for the benefit of the individuals involved and not
vice-versa.  Those structures should be created, modified and
abolished to suit the needs and desires of the individuals who
voluntarily comprise it.  Of course "should be" isn't "are" thanks to
the widespread belief in a bad analogy.

Hence my hostility.

Well, i have just written all this but i think that it didn't go out,
so i will mail it again. If you have already read this please skip
this e-mail.
What i was basically saying there, was that the society as the whole
can be better compared to the was bacterium organizes itself (and not
to the way the cells behave in a body). What happens is that when
plaque is formed (on your teeth or in the see on the rocks) some
bacteria gets on the inside of the plaque and just mantain it. That
bacteria is a very scared ones, since they are much safer where they
are, however, they breathe less and can't reproduce. The ones on the
outside on the other hand produce more and more plaque and can always
have access to oxigen and other tasty things, however, those ones can
always be killed off by anti-biotics and other chamicals.
Now i must worn everyone that this is just a comment and is not ment
to be an argument. This is just a "better" way of looking at the
things not "the" way.

Free your mind and seek the truth.
