What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive? Or if during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? The Organs would quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

Trying to explain that healthcare and asylum are human rights to someone who doesn't know that they part of the declaration of human rights is an object lesson in futility.

According to who? The fucking UN? The same intergovernmental organization that tried to remove another human right? Lol.

Cry all you want about how having anything handed to you all you want but the fact of the matter is nobody is obligated to hand you anything much less for free.

So is trying to explain it to anyone that actually believes a device used most often for ending human lives is an actual human right and things which prolongue human lives such as healthcare and shelter aren't even human rights. It's an unhealthy idolatry.

And as per usual Gauth hasnt the slightest clue about the things he argues about.....

The right to bear arms is a fundamental human right, that does not mean that someone has to give you a firearm. Receiving goods or services for free from someone isn’t. Rights are not supposed to impede or violate other people’s rights. Take your communistic bullshittery elsewhere.

So how exactly does healthcare violate other people's rights? And frankly, Zardoz is supposed to be a hokey sci fi movie, not a sad philosophy in reality.

Healthcare itself doesn’t violate other people’s rights, you have a right to receive healthcare in that no one should forcefully prevent you from trying to seek treatment. Mandating that people pay for your healthcare is the opposite of that.

I can dig an argument that boom sticks are a right to havex but if you hold that belief and that the right to healthcare and safe asylum aren't then how do you even justify that.

Someone please make it make sense, thanks.

W/e. But don’t call it a right, because it isn’t. I know taxes are never going to go away but to consider taking other people’s possessions a “right”. Is a very authoritarian thing to say.

Whether it’s “valid” or not is another argument but it isn’t a right.

The difference comes in rather a person has a right to freely acquire something, and rather they have a right to recieve it unilaterally.

For example, the right to bear arms doesn't necessitate that each person receives a firearm courtesy of the public coffers. The right to healthcare, as presented here, does.

Government sponsored murder along with other atrocious things has also been a part of everyday human society and considered part of the social contract but no one would consider those a right.

Because they aren’t.

I, too love a healthcare system that leaves millions of people in debt and spending so much money that you add more to the US debt on a useless wall while children are in hot cages.

Whats that? Giving ICE the proper tools to facilitate massive amounts of people? Nah, rather go in to debt on a wall while our people desperately need universal healthcare.

It isn't right now, but it should be. Mainly beacuse going into debt over healthcare should be avoided.
