That's an interesting way to think of it, but even in families, communication is paramount. Miscommunication leads to isolation and bad outcomes. There isn't one part of society that isn't run by communication; you can't have anything if you can't have agreement or disagreements, not even science is made in an isolated way; science is debate, testing, communicating with your peers. If we can't debate, then we can't find out the truth, as everyone is bais, and only when your views can stand up to scrutiny can we ever progress as a human race.

Your point of view is quite clear. Yes, we are social creatures, we are not lone wolves, so everything we do is related to others. That's why we developed social institutions, like the family and so on until we invented political institutions. Communication is not an institution, it is rather a process, a relational structure and that is also an element of society. There are influential social institutions that are based on it, such as the media. It has a lot of power in our society. So, despite these annoying sociology terms and clarifications, your point remains valid in principle :)
