A people cannot exist if there is no social solidarity.
Solidarity is an attitude of resistance, I suppose, or it should be.

I think there is a very powerful wish that we all have of being self-contained and having sort of opted out or choosing to remove ourselves from society and to have no ties and no obligations, and even no possessions. To be free in a particular way.
