I feel a little weird when people talk about 'rights' that require someone else doing something for us, like 'rights' that require someone else's labor to be fulfilled. I mostly feel my rights are to a *lack* of interference from others - e.g. a right to freely express.

Other people have responded, but I wanna say that I agree this issue isn't clear cut. How loud do you have to shout in public before you're infringing on other people's rights to not have their eardrums hurt? I still like the original distinction despite the grey areas, tho.

Generally I agree with this - 'obligation' is a kinda bad concept, and I wish people would use other ones. I am slightly more comfortable using that word in terms of 'you are obliged not to make me do things I don't want to do,' although I agree it's not fundamentally sound.

I imagine the 'ideal' outcome would be something like, people work to create value, exchange value for property ownership, if there's too many people then they bunk up, live together, but own their bunk bed.

I think the concept has its limits but is still useful in a lot of ways. Our dependence on society has increased (I think? has it?), but there's still a huge amount of 'leaving alone' we can still do to people.
