I think this article is really all about how we should subborn our individualism to the rule of the collective than about the question of friendships. Reality is, the loners and the individualists have friendships, and so they aren't really alone. But they are not collectivists, and therefore they must be portrayed as having some sort of defect. You see this in every collectivist society.... as no form of socialism can survive if the people recognize it for what it is and resist.
