My point is that you can have an OOP language / system that consists entirely of singletons. The ability to create multiple object instances from a template is classes or prototypes or whatever other mechanism. It's not something strictly necessary to OOP.

Yea, I have no idea what you're trying to convey. Additionally, a system built entirely with singletons isn't object oriented, it's procedural with modules.
