Answered like a good Pinko! I expected nothing less. And thus, again we have come full-circle........back to the most basic of fundamental differences between those of us who favor a free-market, capitalistic ideology and those who truly believe that Marx stumbled upon some great world-shaping revelation. Those who truly believe in the universal concept of natural rights and those who believe that all of these concepts are state-driven.Natural rights do not exist, the state is not founded upon natural right. I don't know why you have so much trouble understanding this.
By the way, I never actually said that the state was founded upon natural rights, I simply suggested that the entire concept of "state formation" is flawed and illogical without believing that natural rights exist - if for no other reason than to try and control them and to "divvy them up" as they see fit.
