    Well, individuals can still be subjective as much as they want, if the society is properly formed. To find a way of allowing this, and allowing stability against human fragility in moral values and weakness to various temptations, greed etc., is part of the core issue, I think. That's the very problem that needs to be solved. A hard problem, which we've not solved yet, but this may not be because it is impossible, but rather because we've not really ever made a serious enough attempt at solving it.
