@freemindrebel What Karl Marx promised after the end of the Capitalist system is a classless society without oppression everyone can do whatever activity they wish, doesn't need to work for their livelihood, and no politics. That is as paradise as what Hitler promised to the Aryan after winning their “struggle”.
“communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticise after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, herdsman or critic.”(‘The German Ideology’)
"When, in the course of development, class distinctions have disappeared, and all production has been concentrated in the hands of a vast association of the whole nation, the public power will lose its political character. Political power, properly so called, is merely the organised power of one class for oppressing another. If the proletariat during its contest with the bourgeoisie is compelled, by the force of circumstances, to organise itself as a class, if, by means of a revolution, it makes itself the ruling class, and, as such, sweeps away by force the old conditions of production, then it will, along with these conditions, have swept away the conditions for the existence of class antagonisms and of classes generally, and will thereby have abolished its own supremacy as a class.” ('The Manifesto of Communist Party')
"Finally, when all capital, all production, all exchange have been brought together in the hands of the nation, private property will disappear of its own accord, money will become superfluous, and production will so expand and man so change that society will be able to slough off whatever of its old economic habits may remain.” ('Draft of a Communist Confession of Faith')

Using fish and water as a metaphor is also not an appropriate one. A man can live alone without being in society without suffocation, but fish would die of suffocation when they leave the water. The example you are saying is just the humane enforcement of "Social Construct", just because the concept would cause physical impact doesn't mean the concept itself is not a man-made "Social Construct" or "spiritual concept". Your example is just like using the Church's or the bible's actual existence to prove the Christian god is real.
Besides, no one suggests the “social construct” didn’t impact human interaction. Are you hear people saying gender is a social construct too much that you believe social construct means nothing important? Social construct means the foundation concepts of human interaction. It is basically the foundation of human society.
At most, TIK was talking about using that social construct to force or indoctrinate you to give all your earnings to the people controlling society's resources before you fulfilled your own interests in the name of "Society" is bad.
In East London, a part of a city, even if you believe in society, law, police, and language, your belief won’t stop you from getting stabbed by someone who doesn’t believe in society, law, police, and language. That proves that “Society” is a spiritual concept that only works when people believe in it.
