Everything you just wrote is factually incorrect. You don't need to be an official member to be an adherent. And to the extent groups have members, it is their members that comprise collectives, by definition.

Society may be a recent word, but it's a recent word for a very old and very real fact: a human social group with a shared culture. Whether you call it a band, a tribe, a camping party, or a nation, doesn't really matter. Presumably, nihilists want to live in a group with other nihilists. Or do they wish to live like solitary orangutans?
