Arguing semantics. Everyone becoming one is the same as there being only one person, just spread out over many bodies.

An amnesiac cannot remember, but his memories are still his own. That person can still act of their own accord. When a person can't distinguish their memories from those of any other, then free will disappears, because their actions are influenced by the group mind.
