Quote:And if one believes that health care is a basic human right, letting each state decide who has that basic human right is kinda dubious morally. As soon as the phrase 'human right' is in the mix, local solutions that deny such rights can seem questionable.
Which is probably why the term should not be continually expanded to include more and more policy preferences. It makes governing a large and heterogenous country kinda difficult.
Quote:The history of how nobles, slave owners, male chauvinists, the capitalist elite class, and dominant cultural groups have fought to maintain privilege and resisted equality is not meaningless babble.
Nor is the history of people claiming to fight these groups, only to replace them at the top of the heap in turn. The Marxists you referenced are a good example of this.
