What is the gist of the sentence?
Persons do not become a society by living in physical proximity, any more than a man ceases to be socially influenced by being so many feet or miles removed from others. .......... Individuals do not even compose a social group because they all work for a common end.(Source: Democracy and Education by John Dewey)
I don't understand the underlined sentence. Does it mean that those who work for a common end (a common goal) cannot be called a social group nor eastablish a social group? Could anyone help me understand the gist of the sentence? What is the point it tries to convey? Thank you.

It doesn't matter if people live close to each other or far away from each other. Their common goals and activities bring them together as a society and culture.
