The Antisocial Socialist

That's because the rule of scales apply to human beings. The rule of scales in physics, for instance, says that Newton's first rule of motion break down at subatomic distances. Similarly, I'd suggest the same can be said about individuals and their social groups. The generalization we have of people in groups does not necessarily apply to people when they are in isolation. There is always that chance that they do, though, which is what makes life so difficult.
