Back in 1998 Glenn Woiceshyn wrote a short article contrasting the UN human rights agenda with individual rights. This brief article provides a nice introduction to the two competing human rights agendas, the individual rights supported by the Right and the Marxist economic rights supported by the Left. The Left confuses and undermines civilization by promoting its socialist agenda as universal human rights so that socialism can piggy-back on the prestige of civil rights. It is crucial that you understand this distinction between the two schools of rights, otherwise you will constantly be confused by claims of rights by the Left. You might even imagine that these socialist programs are rights rather than a program of Marxist takeover.

Human rights is a deep subject with a long history. There are many possible points of confusion in discussing civil rights or individual rights. We need you to understand a few basic points about rights before we can proceed with our discussion of alternative futures. What you think about human rights is going to have a lot to do with what kind of future you choose for yourself (assuming you will have a choice).

Let’s start with a couple of rather obvious points. First, the rights enshrined in the U.S. Bill of Rights serve as an admirable model of human liberty against the claims of totalitarian control by the state, but these rights are not absolute. We reject any claims of inherent rights, or rights given by God. (We are not an admirer of Thomas Jefferson and his articulation of a theory of rights.) We believe that individual rights stem entirely from the beliefs of the Enlightenment philosophers who articulated the theory of the social contract. We believe that rights are specific to particular nations and peoples in explicit agreement with their governments, stemming from the establishment of republics under the revolutionary political theory articulated by the Enlightenment philosophers.

We reject any claims of universal rights applied to everyone on the globe. Tribes are not interested in rights. Claims of rights subvert tribal authority structures and destroy societies. That is why the UN puts forth these claims, so that they will have a justification for invasion and subversion.

Second, rights are not absolute because rights conflict with each other. Court rulings often weigh competing rights claims, then rule that one right takes precedent over another right. The history of legislation and court decisions has the effect of undermining rights in favor of state regulation. Thus, over time, the rights in the U.S. Bill of Rights have become mere shadows of the founders’ intent due to the opposing regulatory functions of courts and legislatures. By now, claims about individual rights pretty much belong to history and may be regarded as myth rather than reality.

You can’t carry any ideas about rights outside your country and expect anyone to take them seriously. Rights are an agreed-upon fiction that are more or less honored in particular places and particular circumstances and ignored in other places.

The Marxist UN human rights agenda further undermines individual rights claims by putting forth economic claims as rights. In a nutshell, the Marxists have introduced a new standard, equal economic outcome, to compete with the implied value orientation of individual rights, the meritocracy. Understanding the clash between meritocracy and equal outcomes is a fundamental requirement for understanding the two competing judicial standards warring against each other in the legal system today.

You will be tested on this material later, and not by me but by life. Unfortunately, most people in the United States today believe they are in possession of inherent rights, and this belief forms the core belief of their values. We are going to do our best to help you examine these beliefs and gently urge you away from them. Rights are not identity. You are bigger and more important than any theory about rights. Neither individual rights nor Marxist human rights is sophisticated enough to serve as the lynchpin of your identity or your expectations about life. This understanding will form the basis for future posts about human rights and alternative futures.
