Or at least there's a refusal to see any subsocieties defined by culture, which is really the important thing.

Subcultures exist - that is a fact.

Whether they are recognised by the state is a different matter. All states recognise some subcultures (even France, even if it pretends not to) but no state recognises every subculture.

Political parties are examples of the subcultures that France recognises. But not every political party might be allowed - an explicitly Islamic political party might run up against institutional (and cultural) opposition.
